“A port for all seasons”, this is how the ancient Romans considered the port of Brindisi from the saying “tres esse in orbe portus: Iunii, Iulii et Brundusii”.”. As if to say that three were the best times to sail: June, July and Brindisi, to emphasise that while for the other ports one had to wait until June and July for optimal sailing, in Brindisi there was no need because the weather and the wind were always favourable.
Between the 1950s and 1960s, Brindisi became a very important seaport for ferries leaving for the Greece, India and Israel. A well-known artist from Brindisi, Giancarlo Cafiero, recounts in an interview: “The city lived in the port and for the port, which was full of ships and ferries, Italian and non-Italian, that docked and sailed day and night. And French, English and German tourists on their way to Greece would get off the train”.
Of all the ship connections from Brindisi for Greece, that of Corfu is one of the most historical and long-lived. Not least because Corfu is the first port of call for ships departing from Italy.
