Puglian Luminarie, with their lights, illuminate the skies around the world.
In past centuries, these wooden structures were called 'Parazioni' and were set up on special occasions such as weddings, funerals, celebrations in honor of prominent people, religious ceremonies, and civic festivities.
They were arches and wooden decorations with Latin inscriptions embellished with painted decorations.
Over time, this decorative architecture evolved from oil and wax lights to the gas from sulfur lamps, reaching the warm light of incandescent bulbs, and finally to the cold light of LEDs. It is precisely the lighting that changes the name and gradually establishes the term 'Luminarie.'
These wooden elements, rising up to thirty meters, represent the fusion of the oldest tradition with the most modern technology: they are held together by joints reminiscent of stone constructions bound only by wire, and are illuminated by the most advanced electronic systems.
