    Rediscovered in the 1960s lying on the ground, it was repositioned upright in the 1970s, at the direction of the Taranto Cultural Heritage Office, by the landowner. Today, meticulously maintained on private property, it is visited by school groups and interested groups. While it isn't directly visible from the road, the owners of the residence were very helpful and kind in granting me access to the property, telling me a few anecdotes, and allowing me to approach the menhir.

      The monolith was found by Carlo Piccinni in 1962 inside the property of the same name. Currently the Menhir is protected by a flowerbed in a privately owned villa.
