Tara

Tip from Kim

Italy in summer. But different. Anyone with a soft spot for people, living space and architecture will get their money's worth here.

Tara is a river on the outskirts of Tarent, whose waters are attributed with healing powers; bathing in it is a tradition among the city's inhabitants. Starting from this idyllic place, Volker Sattel and Francesca Bertin take us on a journey through an area where myths collide with reality, and where so-called progress has exacted a high toll on nature and society.
