Alberobello is a small town in the province of Bari, Puglia (Apulia), and is famous for its unique trulli buildings. A trullo is a traditional Apulian dry stone hut with a conical roof. Their style of construction is specific to the Itria Valley, in the Murge area of the Italian region of Apulia. The Trulli of Alberobello have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996.

We would like to build an underground pool that can only be a maximum of 40 sq m.
