The Borgo Antico di Putignano is extraordinarily rich in symbols carved on the limestone stones that characterize and characterize the doorposts of the residential houses. History, artistic tradition, culture and to close esotericism are documented in these symbols that often hide a mysterious religious and political meaning.
 
This photographic collection also wants to be evidence of the fact that once upon a time in the ranks of good craftsmen and artists of the area there was also the figure of the stonemason who, with inspiration and skill, knew how to model the stone blocks extracted from the quarries in the district.
 
On the portals mainly esoteric symbols are represented, certainly aimed at identifying the master of the house, or his family. Remarkable is the quantity of symbols represented through singular variety of styles and signs used.
