I haven't been to Apulia, but our granddaughter spent some weeks in the summer of 2015 with a friend from school whose grandparents have a beach house on the coast. She sent us a postcard when visiting Alberobello. My husband's sister is married to someone whose surname is Trulli. I've always wondered if his family originally came from Apulia and gravitated to our region of Lazio. Doing personal family history research has been patchy regarding my Italian in laws.
