A somewhat comical recent example of eccentric artistry comes from the culinary arts, via Floriano Pellegrino, chef and owner of the Michelin-starred restaurant Bros in Lecce, Italy.

It’s lucky for Bros’ then that the types of people who can afford trips to Lecce and joke about $150-225 meals in over-heated cement rooms will likely not be leading any kind of uprising.

The rank of provincial capital was bestowed by Ferdinand of Aragon in acknowledgment of the fidelity of Lecce to his cause.

Lecce contains a large government tobacco factory, and is the centre of a fertile agricultural district.

Leaving Otranto, Nicolas came to Lecce, which he entered bearing a cross on his shoulders, and uttering his usual cry.

He took up his abode outside the town, and continued to astonish and edify the peasants who came into Lecce to market.

That of Lecce, to the east-south-east again, is a low flat limestone terrace.
