"Welcome to Cannole, the town of snails” is the ironic sign which welcomes visitors to the little town at 10 kilometres from Otranto and at 10 metres above sea level.
Once Cannole was part of the Decatria Choria, which included the thirteen countries of the Terra d’Otranto with Greek language and traditions.
In Greek, its original name was “Kalami”, namely reeds, in reference to the presence of cane-thickets in the territory.
Cannole was born, probably, in the 12th century, after furious fights between Byzantines, Longboards, Normans and the barons of the south Italy.
