They are certainly cool - I can vouch for that - when it was breaking 40C outside the trulli interior was a good 20c lower - maybe even more - as it never felt uncomfortable, temperature-wise, inside at all. No need for air-conditioning at all!
And the water-management is also something we ought to take note of when we consider how much we waste this commodity. Most trulli had (and have) two cisterns. The first collects rainwater that is filtered and used for domestic purposes in summer. Then the domestic 'waste' water is collected in another cistern for use in irrigation
