What is the setting of Polignano a Mare for the Red Bull Cliff Diving?   Polignano has become an iconic and unmissable stop on the world circuit. The ancient village, with its panoramic terraces and natural caves overlooking the sea, serves as the perfect stage for dives from heights of 21 and 27 meters. Athletes defy gravity in front of thousands of spectators, who gather everywhere: on the rocks, in the balconies, on boats, or even in the water.     Who are the stars of the event?   Among the most awaited stars are Rhiannan Iffland and Gary Hunt, two legends of the discipline who have written the history of high diving.
