After two previous visits, cliff diving returns to Polignano a Mare in August for the fourth stop in the 2010 World Series. It features probably the most unusual of all platforms – a private balcony. The house the balcony belongs to is integrated into the cliff and not surprisingly the location has become internationally renowned. A town in the southern province of Apulia, Polignano is a favourite destination for many of the divers. Series champion Orlando Duque triumphed here in 2009 in front of a crowd of 30,000 and how he'd love another victory to end the winning streak of Britain's Gary Hunt. Known as the birthplace of Domenico Modugno, creator of the world famous song Volare, this charming town also has a reputation for delicious ice cream.
