Taranto
At 45 kms from Masseria Poesia, beyond Martina Franca, lies Taranto, "city of two seas." Despite its dismal state of conservation its historic center has not lost its fascination. Some of the poems of one of its inhabitants, Leonidas (about 270 BC) have recently been published in a Greek-Italian edition (Leonida, In terra e in mare, a cura di M. Beck, Milano, Medusa Edizioni, 2009).
