Faeto

⭐ 8

Franco-Provençal, ham, and beech forest at 820 m in the Monti Dauni.

According to the Touring Club Italiano, Franco-Provençal originated from a colonization initiated by Charles I of Anjou in the second half of the 13th century; a 1999 law protects it as a minority language. Faeto appears in texts in 1343; around 1440, it became part of the Valmaggiore barony and only regained its autonomy after the abolition of feudalism in the early 19th century. At the table, prosciutto di Faeto, a raw ham from free-range pigs, has its festivals on the first Sunday of August and at the end of winter.

À PROPOS DE Faeto

Faeto, at an altitude of 820 m in the Monti Dauni, is the second highest comune in Puglia. Along with Celle di San Vito, it is the region’s only Franco-Provençal linguistic minority. Visit the Casa del Capitano, a 15th-century building that houses the Ethnographic Museum of Franco-Provençal Civilization and the Civic Museum of the Territory. Behind the village stretches a large forest of beech and Turkey oak trees. Monte Cornacchia (1,151 m), the highest point in Puglia, is located within the municipal territory.

According to the Touring Club Italiano, Franco-Provençal originated from a colonization initiated by Charles I of Anjou in the second half of the 13th century; a 1999 law protects it as a minority language. Faeto appears in texts in 1343; around 1440, it became part of the Valmaggiore barony and only regained its autonomy after the abolition of feudalism in the early 19th century.
