Born in Bari, Armando Perotti was a writer, a poet, a journalist.<\/p>\n
Great lover of art and history, he had a very important role in the Apulian cultural life at the beginning of the last century. He strongly supported a unitary idea of the Apulian region, enhanced with his studies, in his writings, in his time spent across Apulia in Castro, Bari, Cassano Murge and Bisceglie.<\/p>\n
Here he met and got married to Fortunata Consiglio, the woman to whom he sent, during the courtship and marriage years, beautiful postcards representing a fascinating insight into the Apulian life and landscape at the beginning of the 1900s.
He lived with Fortunata in their family mansion at Bisceglie, spending their summertime in the countryside at Posta Santa Croce, whose property was already more than a century owned by the Consiglio family.<\/p>\n
