We arrived to Trani by car on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. The reason for visiting Trani was rather emotional than touristic: one of us was born here, 70 yrs ago, sight unseen ever since . We did not expect much We had no city plan or directions (which is our fault entirely). We hit the harbour-side boulevard packed with people (mostly the natives(?), enjoying themselves) and had some trouble finding directions . However friendly people helped and we found the Fabris Palace and even found a parking spot nearby (!). Trani has been the greatest , nice surprise of our trip to the South of Italy (which overall was a disappointment...) Trani is a charming, little town, which we were not able to visit sufficiently, since our plan called for only one day there, elas. Our experience in Trani then confirms the saying: "Natives keep the best for themselves". (The writer of this was born 77 years ago and not in Trani, nor Italy for that matter).
