It was founded in the late 12th century by Tancredi d’Altavilla. It is currently home to the Department of Historical Studies of the University of Salento. Pizzica is a popular Italian folk dance, originally from the Salento peninsula and later spreading throughout all the Puglia and Calabria regions and eastern Basilicata. The traditional pizzica is danced while embracing a partner. This hug need not necessarily involve two individuals of opposite sexes, and often two women can be seen dancing together. Accompanying persons and students are welcome; the cost of the gala dinner is € 55
