Puglia, in Italy?s deep south, where the country's heel rounds to the foot?s arch, is a land of shimmering heat, olive groves and artists? dreams. It is also the place where artists, like David Westby and Leone (Leo) Witton, became hard-working artisans to turn a derelict olive farm into a Roman country estate ? despite the worst obstructions of Italian bureaucracy and with very little money.
