Activities: We visited the municipal cemetery of Lecce. "We were dazzled by the imposing size of the tombs!" There were offerings, lit candles and, at this time of year, poinsettias and small decorated Christmas trees. "On some children's graves are toys and colorful objects."
Highlights: The cemetery was beautiful and well-maintained. We found it "touching and moving, as if the world of the living and the dead were one and the same." ✨
