Cultural Details:
Aradeo has greek-byzantine origins: the name comes from the Greek word charadreon that means land crossed by streams. Indeed, Aradeo is on a fertile area rich of ground water and this may be the reason why it has a good production of oil, wine, wheat flours to make excellent home-made pasta. Spending a holiday here is a good opportunity to taste genuine food. The historical centre is very little but accurately restored: the XVII cent. village ancient door, the XVIII cent. Annunciation church, the XVII cent. St. John's column. Next to historical architecture, there are also important modern works like the town hall and the theatre, where all the most relevant CULTURAL ACTIVITIES and SOCIAL EVENTS of Aradeo take place: concerts, national performances, local carnivals. Summer is the right period for enjoying the DOLCE VITA: at night, in all Salento, popular festivals called SAGRE,where everybody have fun tasting local food, drinking good wine and dancing the famous PIZZICA.
