The Trullo is a work of genius.

A man who digs, collects the stone and, tearing it from the earth, raises it, one on top of the other, together, finding one twin of the other. And united they become a force of nature; assembled they recognize themselves in a Trullo, supportive and powerful. They become landscapes, entering the context without fanfare; powerful but gentle presence with its shapes without edges and generous with curves, with elementary and simple shapes, easy to read. For this reason the Trullo becomes inhabited architecture, possessing that grace, despite the rough material that composes it, which welcomes and accompanies life by attenuating the rhythms. Give the gift of coolness and warmth when needed; he seems to know human needs and indulge them. Therefore the Trullo will survive its owner who becomes its temporary custodian and will cultivate it for future memory. In its time it will forever remain a place of welcome.

Urbano~Lanotte family's trullo, nicknamed by the sons "The Five Oaks", is situated in the heart of Apulia, known as "the golden green mine" in the middle of Valle d'Itria among Locorotondo, Martina Franca and the Murgia of Alberobello.
