Regional Natural Park of Punta della Suina
The Isola di Sant’Andrea e Litorale di Punta Pizzo Regional Natural Park, located in Gallipoli, is a protected area established in 2006 that extends over approximately 700 hectares. It includes the Isola di Sant’Andrea and the Punta Pizzo coastline, where Punta della Suina stands out, famous for its crystal-clear waters and fine sandy beaches immersed in a Mediterranean landscape. The park boasts diverse natural environments – from sand dunes to pine forests and wetlands – which are home to a remarkable variety of flora and fauna. It is the ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in an uncontaminated natural context, between sea and nature.
Lecce, the "Florence of the South"
Lecce, located in the heart of Salento in Puglia, is a city steeped in history, famous for its exceptional Baroque heritage that has earned it the title of “Florence of the South”. Its alleys and squares, enriched by churches and palaces in Lecce stone – a particularly soft limestone that colors the facades in warm golden tones – tell a story that has its origins in the ancient Messapian civilization, evolving under Roman and medieval influence and culminating in the sumptuous Baroque period of the Kingdom of Naples. Today, the historic center of Lecce pulsates with a cultural energy, where tradition, art and gastronomy blend together in a unique and fascinating context.
