San Michele Salentino

⭐ 7.8

Village of the fico mandorlato and the Pinacoteca Cavallo, in the Brindisi countryside

In the early 17th century, Count Michele Vaaz de Andrada transformed a masseria, then called Massarianova, into a village populated by ninety families from Schiavonia, in the Balkans. The current town is considered to have been founded in August 1839, when Prince Francesco Dentice di Frasso ceded land to 61 settlers. After a long struggle for autonomy, it became a municipality on October 25, 1928, the twentieth in the province of Brindisi. The word “Salentino” avoids confusion with other localities dedicated to the archangel.

À PROPOS DE San Michele Salentino

San Michele Salentino is a village in the province of Brindisi, founded in 1839 and independent since 1928. It is known for its fico mandorlato, a local fig and almond cake recognized as a Slow Food presidium. On Via Pascoli, the Pinacoteca Salvatore Cavallo permanently displays 260 works donated by artist Stefano Cavallo.

In the early 17th century, Count Michele Vaaz de Andrada transformed a masseria, then called Massarianova, into a village populated by ninety families from Schiavonia, in the Balkans. The current town is considered to have been founded in August 1839, when Prince Francesco Dentice di Frasso ceded land to 61 settlers.
