Sooner or later everyone realises that there are unrepeatable moments and that those unique gifts. This is where desires are born and very often they are so profound as to be able to excite both us and those dear to us.

You can be a guest or a collaborator and I will be happy to show you the secrets of my profession by involving you in the phases of conception and creation of the jewel. You will be able to try on a preview of your creation thanks to 3D design and prototyping.

Built with the support of the Emperor Frederick II over a 20-year period in the early 13th century, this church has undergone major reconstruction, renovations and remodelings in the 14th, 16th 18th and 20th centuries. The entire orientation of the church was changed 180 degrees in one of those interventions. The classical design, with three parallel naves (or a nave and two lateral aisles), features 12 side altars, six on each side. The symmetrical facade is anchored by two bell-towers and an elaborate stone carved entrance door, with multiple characters represented in the carvings. There is a beautiful rosette above the door, between the two towers.The magnificent wood ceiling combines paintings with gilted stucco work. Behind the altar is a painting by Leonardo Castellano (Assumption of the Virgin).The exquisite wood pulpit is thought to be from the 16th century. The presbytery includes a wood-carved choir, also from the 16th century.

The center of Altamura is relatively small and is entirely reserved for pedestrians. In it the visitor will find the most notable areas of interest, including the Duomo, the church of San Nicola (and many other churches), the Palazzo Melodia, the Museo dell'Uomo di Altamura, the Claustro Giudecca, the Palazzo de Gemmis-Cagnazzi and the Palazzo Castelli. This area, thought to have housed human settlements for more than 40,000 years,, was named after the tall walls that surrounded the original city. It has undergone many waves of conquest and domination, by various European and North African cultures.
