From Monteserico Castle, the view extends over a mosaic of fields creating a natural patchwork effect. Each plot, in a different stage of cultivation, contributes its specific color to this composition: the dark brown of freshly plowed land, the yellow of stubble, the green of growing crops. The boundary lines between fields follow ancient logics, often linked to the natural conformation of the terrain or hereditary divisions dating back centuries. This panorama from above allows appreciation of the complexity of the Murgian agricultural landscape, the result of millennia of human work.
