San Martino e la Luce returns to Maglie in November with three evenings dedicated to the tradition and flavors of Salento. The program includes craft markets, food stands, and cultural events. You will find typical Apulian products such as zampina and bombette di Martina Franca, Pecorino from Maglie, and pittule fried to order. Over the three evenings, round tables will alternate on themes of culinary tradition, new wine, and community. The climax is the San Martino lantern walk on the afternoon of November 11, which reinterprets in a contemporary key the ancient popular tradition of illuminating the night with handmade flames.
