Melpignano

It is not just wind and sun, Melpignano is not just a land of flavours and fragrances. Melpignano is music, it is tradition that risked being forgotten and instead survived and became beauty, dance, rhythm. Here, in fact, on the last Saturday of August, the world-famous Concertone della Notte della Taranta is held, a widespread festival that involves several towns in the Salento and that reaches its conclusion here. The town fills up, the music reaches everywhere. The party heats up the night, ancient dance mixes with more modern sounds. The songs of the past become the songs of today. They become life to live, to dance, generations embraced in a land that celebrates its beauty and its roots.
