Un'antica mappa del Salento.
"Apuliae quae olim Iapygia, nova corographia".
E' tratta da un'edizione pubblicata ad Anversa nell'anno 1570 del Theatrum Orbis Terrarum di Abraham Ortelius.
From "Liber de situ Iapigiae" by Antonio De Ferrariis Etiquette year 1507
The Iapigi
I found that this peninsula was often named differently by different authors. Some, like Aristotle and Herodotus. She was named Iapigi, other Salentina Peucezia other, other Messapia, named after the commander Messapi, other Magna Graecia, Apulia others here because the trees lose their leaves faster than they are elsewhere, other Calabria . In fact, today's Calabria was once called Bruzio: so much change and things change.
is what Strabo writes of this region, which I quote verbatim: The next area of \u200b\u200bIapigi is, against all expectations, Very comfortable. Although the surface appears rough, where you can plow, you discover that the soil is very deep and fertile, and although water is poor, yet has plenty of pleasant pastures and is rich in forests. At one time this whole region was also densely populated and there were thirteen cities. Now, with the exception of Taranto and Brindisi, the others are just small villages, having reached this point degradation. It is said that the settlers are Salentini came from Crete. So Strabo.
Ed Pliny mentions the continent and Alezio Oria, on the coast of Gallipoli and Sena, formerly known as Anxa. Taranto also mentions, Basta, Otranto, Soleto, saying it abandoned, Frantuentio, Miltope, Lecce, Whale, Ceglie and Brindisi.
is how Leandro Alberti after visiting the territory in 1525 describes the countries at the turn of the territory of the Valle d'Itria in Salento and the High " DESCRITTIONE TVUTTA OF ITALY "
" while walking over that hill, the ancient city of ritrovasi Celio Celia appointed by Ptolemy, placed at the end of this hill. In the territory of which the quarry grand'abbondanza saffron. There are very around the woods to hunt in order to be accommodated very much salvaticine. Then walk to
Ostuni 4 miles is seen S. Vito ansidetto and over the hill where it is shown Caravigna , and later Cisternino ... "

E 'the meeting of the Murge and the Salento high or the valley with Itria Ostuni, Ceglie, Cisternino and Martina Franca
