Manduria Archaeological Museum - Messapian Art

You don't have to go to Rome to get your fix of ancient artifacts. The Messapians of ancient Puglia are well represented in the intimate Museum of Archaeology in Manduria. Manduria also has an ancient well and Messapian walls. The population of Manduria has stayed steady since antiquity--yes, thousands of years before the Romans. See some of the representative art and some new finds from a child's tomb recently excavated in Manduria, narrated by glass artist Francesco Selvaggi, who runs a glass art classes from his Puglian masseria--Masseria Li Reni.

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.
