Buffoluto

Welcome to Buffoluto, a wonderful village in Puglia

Hello friends, today I want to talk to you about an enchanting place I discovered during my last trip to Puglia: Buffoluto. Located in the province of Taranto, this village is immersed in nature and rich in history. Walking through its streets, you can breathe an authentic and picturesque atmosphere.

The story of the Buffoluto ship

But it's not just the beauty of the area that draws attention to Buffoluto. In fact, among its curiosities is the "Buffoluto" ship that was part of the Italian Royal Navy fleet during World War II. This ship was specialized in the transport of ammunition and mines.

The Buffoluto was built in 1930 in a shipyard in Genoa and actively participated in the war operations of the time. After the end of the conflict, the ship was dismantled but its memory is still alive in Buffoluto.
