Does SA have a special relationship with Puglia?

It’s difficult to find any sign that South Australia has any relationship with Puglia let alone a special one. I did find Blundstone boots for sale for €145 in an exclusive shoe shop but of course they are made in Tasmania.

No Coopers or Jacobs Creek yet. I will keep looking.

I did find this window though. I think it would have summed up beautifully in a very tasteful, 16th century kind of way, what the people of Lecce would have thought of the mean spirited, insular provincialism of Rann, Foley et al had they known them.

Actually the window is part of what used to be a bordello in the 16th or 17th century. The story goes that the brothel owners were prohibited by the authorities of the time (church, state, or both) from openly advertising the true nature of their business, hence the pattern chosen for the wrought iron grill on this window.

People are nothing if not resourceful at getting around rules imposed from on high.
