Salento

Here everything gets married with the slow noise of the time, this is not because we have arrived in the South from Italy, it is a foolishness this history, but it is the sun that beats strongly, it is the silence of an earth that, in certain hours of the day, it free yourself almost of the all of the men."

"Salento, embraced from two seas, the Ionio and the Adriatico. Salento earth of dominations, tense arm toward the east, terminal of the west, to half between two cultures. For a long time and forever. 

 The Salento strikes because it has known how to unite ancient and modern, west and east, note, relaxation and relax, without kill the one in reason of the other, without destroy nothing. Here they want examples for clear the story from clouds until here fact: we take Gallipoli, solemn with his ancient palaces, and with his historical crushers., the stately Cathedral, and that chase each other of churches, sortili, and the his white blinding, in the middle of that sea, with the beach that embraces the city, that will seem discounted tell that it is of an intense blue, but it is it really." (pull from The Trips from Republica)

But as and also rich Otranto of history and of charm, Castro with his tall and steep coasts, Saint Caesarian thermal baths place of peace and comfort with its sulphureous coves, for arrive to Maria Saint of Leuca, heaven for the underwater fishermen.

Salento that doesn't offer only the his splendid sea to his visitors, but a rich earth of vineyards and olive-groves and sea pine-woods and architectural wealths that they of the baroque do belle show in all the countries of the province, until to his triumph in the enchanting Lecce, with the his stately churches and palaces.

Salento, seems an earth that everything hide, and that then show slowly slowly, quite like the spirit that animates all the peoples of Salento.

This site, maids quite to this, make know the world this earth, describing the places and countries, the men and what they do.
