Rosaria OrsittoAuthentic Italy Guide

Step into a living postcard of southern Italian life in Arco Basso, affectionately known as 'Orecchiette Street.' Here in the heart of Bari's old town, you'll find local women sitting outside their homes, skillfully hand-crafting traditional 'little ear' pasta, a tradition passed down through generations. The rhythmic tap of their knives on wooden boards is the street's soundtrack, offering a truly authentic and unforgettable glimpse into local culture and cuisine that you can watch for hours and even take a piece of home with you.
