In 1402 a small church was built which was later dedicated to S. Stefano, protector of Putignano. The internal plan is cross-shaped and the sloping roofs covered with typical chiancarelle reflect the ancient shape of the buildings in the historic center of Putignano. It is also identified as the small church of the fountain due to the presence on the external side of one of the first public fountains installed in the ancient village. On the entrance door, in the lunette, there is the fresco of Santo Stefano Protomartire to whom the church is dedicated.
"Then a great sign appeared in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars."
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.
