Trulli of Alberobello / Book Folding Origami

Albero3

    

 I have a friend from the city of

Bari, the capital city of the puglia

region in Italy.

Trulli, from the Albarbello area.

I was inspired to recreate them

using old bus schedule books as

seen on the picture to the left.

What is the symbols of top Trulli?

Maybe you would like to know.

 If you'll go to local shops

in Alberobello, you might find

accessories for sale that are

shaped to emulate Trulli's

symbols or Trulli's spires.

As I was folding these origami books for Trulli, an unfortunate train tragedy happened to near Bari (12th of July).

Some Japanese people make origami cranes to pray for lost life or for people fighting disease, a way to comfort the soul .

It is a form of symbolic support for persons who want overcome adversity and tragedy.

This is how I felt as I was making these decorations. I pray for the Victims and I pray for the people who need encouragement .

Thank you for your visit.
