Light and Tradition: The Art of Apulian Luminarie

Among the most evocative experiences that Evo Dimore is delighted to offer its guests is a journey into one of Puglia's most beloved traditions: a hands on luminarie workshop with Francesca.

Guided by her knowledge and passion, you will discover how these iconic illuminated arches, a defining symbol of every Apulian patron saint's feast, are conceived and built by hand, frame by frame, bulb by bulb. You will learn the traditional techniques used to shape the metal structures, arrange the lights, and compose the geometric patterns that have illuminated the towns and villages of Puglia for generations.

This is not just a craft demonstration, but a window into the soul of Apulian community life, where light becomes celebration. Francesca will share the stories, symbols, and craftsmanship behind this centuries old art, passed down from master to apprentice across the region. At the end of the experience, you will have created your own small luminaria to take home, a handmade piece of Puglia to keep.

A simple and heartfelt experience, destined to become a cherished memory to carry with you.
