Locally called "Bubulo" in the singular and "Bubuli" in the plural, these are terracotta architectural elements that have been used in traditional Pugliese architecture.
They were primarily used as components for vaulted ceilings and other structures, making buildings lighter than stone or tuff while the internal air layer served as insulation.
