What is the Locus Festival in Locorotondo?
The Locus Festival is one of the most respected music festivals in southern Italy; since 2005 it has turned the whitewashed lanes of Locorotondo, in the heart of the Itria Valley, into a stage for international jazz, soul and hip hop acts. Rather than a single festival ground, Locus spreads across historic courtyards, piazzas and the Masseria Ferragnano estate, surrounded by centuries old olive groves and the region's iconic trulli houses.
