Trulli of Alberobello

I’ve posted on the trulli houses with their conical, corbel domed roofs before, last year some time, but whenever I visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alberobello’s historical area I’m impressed with the beauty and ingenuity of these structures (see post below). Here is a view of the section of the town with the densest collection of domes. But the town risks losing its UNESCO designation. Long ago they were supposed to get rid of those telephone poles and power lines. You can see why UNESCO asks for them to be put underground. They really spoil what is otherwise an amazing skyline.
