Thanks again for this info; Belmonte is next to Misilmeri; or just above it.  Is there a zip code for this area. Also what form letter could I use to send here. Did you say you stayed in Misilmeri? I hope to visit within the next few months and I have to start planning. I need some tips on language and etc.  How are the roads. Do I have to be wary of bandits on the roads? Can you scan me a map of the area. I am also planning to visit Bari province.

Now, Sandra, here is some info for you...
