Apulia, or Puglia as the Italians call it, has something for everyone. If you're a historian, like I am, or just a plain history buff, Apulia has it all. From Roman to 20th century. Not to mention, fabulous food, seafood, pasta, fresh everything. The region is known for its wine and its olive oil and it's beautiful besides. Check this article out from USA Today

Find out and talk about medieval history, Sicily and the Mediterranean during the Crusades, food and culture, what did medieval people eat and drink (our sleuth is a tavern owner, after all!!) and what about money and trade? Spices and what about the streets of a medieval town after dark? And what about the women in medieval Sicily? What did they wear, eat, drink and how did they get married (or not)?
