Alberobello Coreggia, Alberobello, Bari Agriturismo - Farm House accommodation

The Company Agrituristica LAIRE of Barnaba Francisco & Figli, in the first years of the nine hundred, as they remember the old ones of the Coreggia fraction was a station of mail for the shelter of the viandanti and horses that moved themselves from the Ionian sea to the Adriatic sea. Its positioning in fact facilitated the viandanti finding itself to half road between Taranto and Monopolies that is Taranto and Conversano. Called since first of the '900 also To Torr 'd Coppl 'd Fuoch (the tower of the getlteman with the fire cap), from the nickname of the owner then, has changed many times over owners and has endured, in the time, several modifications in the structure and the destination of the premises. The so-called “tower” was constituted to flat earth from the shelter of the horses (puts into effect it knows them it from lunch), from the kitchen with hearth, from three bedrooms and a wine cellar which it is approached from knows it from lunch, beyond to the granary and the barn to plan first (it puts into effect them two agrituristici minium-apartments). Built up with stone of the place sagomata from trullari said masters of the stone, the same ones who built up trulli (the typical constructions of Alberobello), contemplate solai with time botte, times to sail and cruise. The masonries carrying of elevated thickness (also 1,20m), support the times, constituting the particularitity of this complex. The attraversamenti between inner atmospheres of the structure are gain to you with arch; in the same way the windows are obtained that show oneself outside. The times are constituted from say an inner stone layer accurately cut and embedded to arc tans, while outside they are realizes to you with stones to thinner slabs said chianche (the same employees for the covers of trulli of Alberobello or the typical ones cummerse of Locorotondo. In the time the use of the structure to mail station was modified, for the changed requirements dictated from the advent of modern agriculture and new means of transport. The mail station becomes one small agricultural company to the borders of the Coreggia fraction, identified hour as Pietraficcata for it massiccia stone presence and emerging cliff. The slow transformation of the territory in the years that go from 1920 to 1940, with the passage from agricultural the boschivo land to with breedings of screw and olive tree, made to grow the company, with the sistemazione of walls to dry, escarpments and the reclamation of uncultivated lands. The buildings come subsequently widen to you, in function it is of the transformation of the products inside of the same company that of the zootecnic breeding, with the construction of new stables, barns and several equipments. We remember that the landscape in which the company rises is dominated from the presence of forests of fragno, one variety of typical oak of the Puglia (quercus macedonica). Tauro Modesto buys the building from the owner Coppl' of Fuoch that resale in 1932 to the Barnaba spouses Giuseppe and Locorotondo Rosette. The company will be called To Massareje' du M' rchen (the masseria of the American), because Barnaba Giuseppe in 1930 had re-entered in Italy after to have passed a period of job of 15 years in America; they come built up the stables, come cleared lands, implanted a vineyard to little tree of Primitivo variety, mandorleto and a uliveto. The reclamation interested all the superficial ones to exclusion of a boschivo plot of ground, the slopes was overwhelmed with wall constructions to dry (sayings parieti) and terrazzamenti all in stone, than still tutt' today they are efficient and visitabili. A plot of ground, moreover, adjacent the construction with emerging cliff presence (called Pietraficcata) was taken advantage of in order to gain stone pieces, (all digging and working with manual means) that sagomati on purpose were use you in order to build up others exactly three rooms to flank of the old building, the bell tower of the church of Saint Vito Martire and a small trulletto with a called statue MADONNINA, intentional from the quarter in order to bless the fields and the harvest. It puts into effect them owners, the Barnaba spouses Francisco and Christmas Neglia, grandsons of the previous owner have called company LAIRE, deriving it from the nickname of Francisco, exactly Cicc `d saup the Boost (Ciccio of over the aia). The zone moreover on the catastali maps and brought back as LAIRE for the presence of aie used for the working and trebbiature of the puttinges of grain, oats, luff and legumi from part of the inhabitants of the Coreggia fraction. The farm holidays activity is the last transformation made to the structure but it must recognize that being historically a station of pause for the viandanti, very it has been adapted to this new shape of hospitality. Moreover the recovery and the restructure of the old barn and granary (not more usable for logistic requirements), very have been adapted to the requirements of the rural tourism, also conserving the same characteristics and architectonic tipologie of the Old tower Of Coppl d' Fuoch…
