Overview
The land in which Corigliano is located, in the Salento hinterland, is a land that still recalls its ancient Greek origins: here, Byzantine roots resonate in the names of the streets and in the words and sounds pronounced by the few who still speak Griko, an ancient Hellenic dialect. The historical centre is a charming maze of courtyard houses and the atmosphere here is that of the times when ladies and knights lived, times of battles and assaults. And then, in the historical narrative, a timeless, enchanting tale of love and passion sprouts up, narrated in the beautiful Lucchetti Arch dated 1497, which surmounts the entrance to a court, where the love of a man for his bride is read in Byzantine symbols.
