Sitting in the Apulia region in the south of Italy, Lecce is splashed with baroque buildings and its central Piazza del Duomo is flush with locals chatting over coffee at one of the many cafes. The land to slurp on pasta or to indulge in more than one amazing local wine, is also offering coworking venues for when you need to get some work done or wish to hang out with some likeminded creative souls. Historian buffs will love this town draped in its ancient roots that go back over 2,000 years. Commonly referred to as "The Florence of the South" due to its plethora of architectural wonders and monuments, it has a long traditional affinity with Greek culture. Its industry is entrenched in "Lecce stone" that is a particular type of limestone easily workable, as it's so soft. It's also an agricultural hub known for its olive oil and wine plus a ceramic producing center.

Italians have creative culture in their blood, from food to fashion, design to wine and there are plenty of innovative tech savvy souls lingering over espressos. Major tech players such as IBM and Apple are opening up new tech hubs alluding to the fact that there is loads of potential in the Italian market. The government is instigating new initiatives to make it easier for startups to "start up" in light of the fact that it has always had a reputation for being bureaucracy-heavy.

Coworking venues are giving them the space to mingle, to connect, to collaborate and to sip espresso without having to pay for the privilege of sitting on a seat.
