Like any good satirical comedian, he needed a shoulder to serve him the joke on a silver platter. His shoulder was Pietro Galluzzi, known as u triesten (the Triestino)
Stefano Caldi, known as "U Bar'Sidd" (a small inhabitant of Bari) because his father was originally from Bari, born on 29 December 1888 and died on 30 January 1981. Originally his surname was Cauto, a surname that his father changed to Warm for all his children. Stefano was born to Giuseppe by profession bastagio, that is to say port porter and by Veronica Genco and by profession he was upholsterer.
One of the Propaggini Artist and masks of the most popular characters that Putignano has had. He embodied a simple and spontaneous satire, a character that reached directly to the hearts of those present.

This website project born from the idea of Gianni Musaio is enclosed in a team spirit and is the result of the collaboration of people, ordinary citizens, who care about the historical, cultural, artistic, geographical, food and wine heritage of the historic center of Putignano, a town in to live.
The historic center of a town is the fulcrum of the territory, where ancient stories, traditions and culture of those who preceded us are preserved. You too can contribute to leaving the testimonies of the past to the generations to come, taking care of them.
