Normal routine, wake up at dawn to find accurate on the first date of the morning after about 300km Modugno.
The problem this time is not the alarm clock at dawn, but where is the dawn? Leaden sky, heavy clouds and heavy rain pouring down. Uh what a surprise, the rain ...
Well, despite the rain, traffic and an accident that slowed us down for about 30 minutes utile.Lavoro arrival time, work schedules, and then negotiations away from another customer. From Modugno we move to Trani are already 11.45. Aaaahhhh but how we talk business?
left the final score at 13.40 and we decide to stop for lunch in town. I do not believe ... the sun. The temperature has risen about 14 degrees, what a wonderful feeling.
"Where the Adriatic and the Ionian promises already lost the green acid below the scales of 'blue warm and dense, this city that no one is celebrating, Trani, stands tall as a cathedral acropolis and a tower that measures the distance from heaven " I really like this phrase Cesare Brandi taken from his Hymn to Trani.
city of about 55,000 inhabitants which has a beautiful port and is a pleasant city of art, I was fascinated the first time I set foot, fifteen years ago. Even today, when I return, I like to savor the atmosphere that has remained in my heart, the human dimension. Here is the definition of "city on a human" here reveals its full meaning, the elegance of its buildings, the ability to access the center without being penalized in finding convenient parking, the options for various, aesthetically manicured without sacrificing convenience, the quiet flow of traffic, streets spacious, in short, a gem.
Decidamo lunch at "Il Melograno "We're missing a few years, partly because when I happen to come during the summer I prefer the port area.
We settle, the room is already full, friendly staff now brings us water and bread. Needless to say we eat fish. I decide for a starter and second in chicken stewed with tomatoes. I choose a glass of red wine to wash it all down, Nero di Troia, some structure, but the young man who goes well with the full, round flavor of the dishes I chose. As usual, I start with raw, but today I expected a surprise ... a marmora filleted in front of me, is seasoned with excellent olive oil from Puglia and freshly ground pepper at the time, a little lemon juice impalpable, a bite and feel the sea ... ... iodized perfume, scent of seaweed and deep-sea fresh and inviting. mmm is a delight, and then off with the delicious oysters, small, tasty and succulent, then the typical hairy mussels, and truffles, continued with a fabulous potato pie and swordfish and a warm octopus all'insalata, wow all delicious.
And what about the chicken poached in a spicy olive and intense barely stained by diced tomatoes, diced? Well today I give myself too sweet, I know they make them, a beautiful dense panna cotta with berry sauce and fresh red raspberry buds and a sprig of red currants deliciously sour. We pay the bill € 85 for two, just and deserved.
We leave happy, satisfied and pleasantly deicide to walk to the center in anticipation of the next appointment.
I place myself on the highway at dusk, it starts to rain, the day ends as it began, the dark and rain ... but the mood is positive.
