During my working years, I was able to travel widely. But I never considered travel writing as a second career until I read A Traveler in Italy by H.V. Morton. I knew and loved today’s Italy by then, but never knew that words could resurrect so vividly an Italy I didn’t know: a nation still struggling, in Morton’s time - the mid-twentieth century - to recover from its self-inflicted wounds. Morton was a well-read man, interested in history, art, music, and culture; but he was also fascinated by everyday life, and could write as entertainingly about the patrons of a Roman barber shop as about an early Christian church. I think, like Morton, that, wherever you are, a place is defined by the lives its people lead, their faith, traditions, legends, myths, and history; and, of course, by the art that seeks to give meaning to it all. And that’s what I like to write about. So, for more than twelve years I’ve written a monthly column called “Fast Culture” for Italia! Magazine, as well as full-length features for the magazine and the Italia! Guides Series. I’m also a contributor to German Life Magazine. https://joegartman.com/articles daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1744932106137-F1R9XVXDZEUU56L4CGYR/Roman%252BForum%252B2008%252B%2525285%252529.jpg Articles ROME AND LAZIO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1768196910361-TA8D8GQ1SOKQECJ1DSGC/P1170129.png Articles VENICE AND THE VENETO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/7c33672c-8e56-48e2-ab26-3160b47076a2/Campanile+%26+Views+From+-+2014+%2841%29.JPG Articles FLORENCE AND TUSCANY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/ec16b38b-da81-4e04-83f0-969812c4f2ec/Possibles+%285%29.JPG Articles NAPLES AND CAMPANIA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/130bffac-1b78-4e30-a8dc-d4d147ef15f2/Mole+and+Views+From+%28178%29.JPG Articles TURIN & PIEDMONT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/63aa22fa-57bc-4bb7-b9a7-689972538456/Temple+of+Hercules+%2825%29.JPG Articles PALERMO AND SICILY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/4086b110-c6c7-4219-9588-ea889b36a3dc/Duomo+-+S.+Maria+Assunta+2011+%2855%29.JPG Articles ORVIETO AND UMBRIA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1490c7f0-768e-4341-9035-58f87c65bc0d/San+Apollinare+Nuovo+-+2014+%2842%29.JPG Articles RAVENNA AND EMILIA-ROMAGNA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/c5d6676f-9753-44fa-8da4-f5413214fc4c/Raffaello+Degusteria+%281%29.JPG Articles ITALY: OTHER PLACES, OTHER REGIONS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1700281847587-7WNYBRIBRLA4O4TH5GS1/Sorrento%2B-%2BChristmas%2BLights%2B%2B%252810%2529.jpg Articles CHRISTMAS IN ITALY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/34a7557f-fea5-48d0-8192-71acc4e9d58b/Beilstein+in+Bloom+-++photo+by+Patricia+Gartman.JPG Articles GERMANY https://joegartman.com/italian-christmas daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1700106559912-K4TH9G13Z1HX1HFUDQX6/La%2BBefana%2B%25281%2529.jpg Italian Christmas She dresses like a witch, flies across the sky on a broom, and delivers gifts to children on the eve of Epiphany LA BEFANA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1700200356314-KEN3YVSRXNPW16Y17SG6/Sorrento%2B-%2BChristmas%2BLights%2B%2B%252831%2529.jpg Italian Christmas With our exile from Italy ending, we celebrated with a photostory of pre-pandemic Italian Christmases GLIMPSES OF CHRISTMAS PAST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1700282326434-EY06MLF3RQL4ZE38RULL/P1030033.jpg Italian Christmas I climbed the rain-slick steps of Verona's ancient arena, to view the famous star from above.

Make it stand out Valle d'Itria from Locorotondo: In the rocky Valle d’Itria, dry stone fences divide fields from olive groves, and olive groves from vineyards; and they also define the farmsteads whose conical stone houses, built according to an ancient tradition, are called trulli. The views of the valley from Locorotondo’s Punto Panoramico seem almost too perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/5110bc60-89f0-412d-b17a-0cdfb4ba416e/2.+Relaxing+before+the+Main+Event.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Relaxing before the Main Event: Waiting for sunset at a café in Piazza Dante, in front of the little rectory church, Chiesetta Rettoria Madonna Addolorata. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/c1f5db22-da72-4ffa-ad65-dd1adde91191/3.+Via+Morelli+has+donned+its+finery.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Via Morelli has donned its finery, and waits impatiently for the evening festivities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/4ed3c5b3-f51d-4af5-8f3a-0fd40077c1b7/4.+Via+Morelli+After+Dark.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Via Morelli after dark: A cheerful crowd celebrates beneath the street’s gleaming ornaments and sparkling lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/69e2e586-dc22-4792-9abf-e5e95ee61f78/5.+This+lane+was+so+thickly+bedecked.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out This lane was so thickly bedecked with holiday greenery and crimson bows that we never found its name … https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/1607ecb4-233b-480a-b675-a095009c2b24/6.+But+later%2C+in+the+dark.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out But later, in the dark, it was still easy to recognize the exuberant trimmings of this happy vicolo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/8bfa98de-debe-4fc2-bb4a-1ab83077a1ed/7.+An+animatronic+Santa+on+Saxophone.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out A homespun Santa on Saxophone, in a barrel-vaulted passageway, warming up for the evening show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/13ffbf95-0e05-4816-a937-74ec1b638777/8.+The+festive+lights+have+just+been+switched+on.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out The festive lights have just been switched on at the Mandragora Winebar. Mandragora is another name for the legendary magical Mandrake plant – hallucinogen, aphrodisiac, anaesthetic, and poison. I opted for a glass of Bianco di Locorotondo DOC, the local white wine instead. Wouldn’t harm a fly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/acdba314-f16f-4e73-8866-d365bf86f51a/9.+After+dusk%2C+the+air+grows+chill.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out After dusk, the air grows chill.

Beyond the arch is the Area Pedonale and the Centro Storico – the Old Town. The streets enclosing Locorotondo’s historic centre live up to town’s name: they make an almost perfect circle around a maze of narrow alleys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/653a4c1e-5cd1-44c5-aff0-ac8b3ed5d7c6/11%2C+Many+celebrants+fortify+themselves.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Many celebrants fortify themselves at the Caffè della Villa in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele before venturing further on the passeggiata. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/5d2ff762-1b83-464f-a7d8-8c056c2ea88b/12.+Crowds+choke+this+narrow+street.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Crowds choke this narrow street, under garlands of evergreen boughs and between grapevines heavy with clustered lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/903b36ff-4737-4e3b-9997-960330a95f17/13.+These+walkers+find+some+room.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out These walkers find some room as they approach a house with the tall, narrow façade and pointed roof typical of Locorotondo’s cummerse houses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/6b7a825a-683d-43a7-81ee-0c135668c654/14.+Late+Night+on+Via+Nardelli.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Late Night on Via Nardelli, just outside the Pedestrian Zone and the Old Town. Parked cars reflect the holiday lights, as – perhaps a bit footsore – visitors wend their way home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222b6006129813b27ec8ec4/429c8dfc-900b-4f85-b77c-280dbecec1d5/15.+Perhaps+these+people+are+also+going+home.png A Christmas Passeggiata - Make it stand out Perhaps these people are also going home, but have strayed into Locorotondo’s lovely Punto Panoramico park. Beyond the monument to the town’s fallen in wars, are the scattered lights on the vast, dark valley floor: farmsteads, villages, roadways, and the glow from the baroque city of Martina Franca, five miles away. https://joegartman.com/bethlehem-2 daily 0.75 2026-02-10
