Work, Connect, and Immerse Yourself in Puglia
Trame Living is a cultural association in Puglia, southern Italy, built around a simple idea: that the best remote work experiences happen when professional focus meets genuine human connection and local culture. Co-founded by Claudia and Giovanna, it brings together location-independent workers for pop-up colivings, workations, and curated retreats in one of Italy's most striking regions.
What Trame Living Offers
Rather than a permanent coliving space, Trame Living runs pop-up programs that combine comfortable remote work infrastructure with deeply local programming. Participants can expect:
- Pop-up colivings in the Ostuni area and across Puglia
- Workations designed for solo nomads and small groups who want a productive base with community built in
- Wellness and cultural retreats mixing downtime with exploration of South Italian traditions
- Corporate off-site experiences for remote teams needing a meaningful shared environment
- Workshops — ceramics, culinary classes, local craft traditions — woven into the programme
- Networking events connecting digital nomads, expats, and local entrepreneurs
The format is intentionally temporary and rotating, which keeps the community fresh and ensures that each cohort is curated rather than just whoever happens to be passing through.
Why Puglia
Puglia sits at the heel of Italy's boot, a region known for trulli houses, whitewashed hill towns like Ostuni and Locorotondo, long Adriatic and Ionian coastlines, and exceptional food. It remains less saturated with tourists than Rome or the Amalfi Coast, which means better value, more authentic encounters, and a pace of life that actually supports deep work and genuine rest.
For nomads who've already done Lisbon, Bali, or Chiang Mai, Puglia offers a different texture — the warmth of southern Italian hospitality, slower rhythms, and a food culture that gives you real reasons to step away from the laptop.
Who It's For
Trame Living attracts professionals who want more than just a desk and fast Wi-Fi. The typical participant is location-independent, values community and cultural exchange, and wants their next stint abroad to feel meaningful rather than transactional. The association also works with companies whose remote teams want a purposeful off-site that goes beyond a hotel conference room.
If you're planning time in southern Italy and want a ready-made community of like-minded people alongside structured cultural programming, Trame Living is worth reaching out to well in advance — slots are limited by the pop-up nature of the model.
Trame Living proves that working remotely from Italy doesn't have to mean working alone.
