Avetrana (Manduria) in Puglia: The Festival of San Biagio

San Biagio was a Martyr and is Patron Saint of Avetrana, a small town south of Manduria in Puglia. If you've never seen a religious procession on a Saint's day, here's a chance: a short video by James Martin featuring the procession and music of the San Biagio festival in April.

Sony video camera used for italian travel videos

The Video Equipment

The video camera used on these Italian travel videos is a Sony HDR-TG1 Hi-Def Handicam that slips into a pocket and has decent 5 channel audio. See my Sony Handycam HDR-TG1 Camcorder Review on Europe Travel.

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 for editing, as it natively edits the AVCHD video format. The recently released Adobe Premiere Elements 7 does AVCHD as well, but was released too late for me to try on this trip. The Adobe software should be easier to use.

Avetrana is a city in Puglia with a church, an interesting clock tower, and a castle to visit. It's south of Manduria, known for its production of Primitivo di Manduria wine.
