Putignano a history you don't expect
Between history and awards
Documents and historical testimonies that have contributed to making the Grotta del Trullo known in Puglia and throughout Italy. As seen in the historical description, the karst site of Putignano was officially inaugurated and opened to the public on 21 June 1935. From this date, the highest offices of the city and of Puglia were present. The inaugural ceremony was personally officiated by the Prince of Italy Umberto II of Savoy.
As can be seen from documents of the time, the Prince was a guest of the city, at the personal invitation of the Marquis Guglielmo Romanazzi - Carducci, at the time Podestà of the town. As evidence of this event, a commemorative plaque was placed on the walls of the trullo at the entrance to the cave, which is still present today.
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.
