« The Gargano promontory is the most varied mountain one can imagine. It includes the Foresta Umbra, with beeches and Turkey oaks that reach 50 meters in high and are old like Methuselah; firs, maples, yews; they are so luxuriant and colored one can think all the seasons were enchanted here at evening; there are also roe deers, hares, foxes and a lot of different birds... » Giuseppe Ungaretti
