The trulli , limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia, are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.While the much visited village of Alberobello has many trulli, a large number modernised for shops and holiday lets, this one, on the roadside, is still in its original form and far more interesting, to my mind.https://www.alongdustyroads.com/posts/alberobello-puglia-italy-guide
81049 Mignano Monte Lungo Caserta, Italy
From the statue of the Madonna just above the van, there was what appeared to be a new development of small houses. The binos revealed it's actually the cemetery! Google maps link below confirms.
