Italy,Puglia,Locorotondo. The trulli (from the greek late τρούλος dome) is a traditional dry stone constructions, conics, a native proto-typical and unique of the central and southern. Despite areas of development of the trulli are found around archaeological prehistoric times, or foundations of stone huts dating back to the Bronze Age, there are no particularly ancient trulli: this is justified by the fact that rather than undertake the repair of the same in case of instability, it is preferred to tear it down and rebuild it for economic reasons, reusing the material.
