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. Click on the link above for a list of explanations of the symbols' meanings. |

How to make Trulli houses by folding old books: Preparation- You will need: Old book / Paperclip or Stapler / Bamboo stick. Tip-1 Make sure to fold the pages properly for a better end result. Tip-2 250 pages is good enough to stand up. Follow the picture instructions of the right: A) Take the top edge corner of that page and fold to the center of inner hinge. And then, take the other corner of the page and fold it to the center. B) Take the top edge corner of that page and fold to the center of inner hinge.　Make sure it aligns with the edge. |

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.
