Abbiamo trovato una guida molto disponibile e preparata che ci ha accompagnato alla scoperta della Bari vecchia, della quale abbiamo scoperto i vicoli più caratteristici e gli scorci principali. Grazie a lei abbiamo approfondito anche la storia del santo Patrono e visitato la Basilica e la cripta con le reliquie del Santo. Veramente una bellissima esperienza!
