SALINA MONACI

Salina Monaci, part of the Regional Natural Reserves of the Eastern Taranto Coast, was established in 2002 as a protected area, characterized by a salt pan no longer in use, subject to a variation in the water level and formation of extensive salt crusts in the summer season.

In 1600, the area was owned by the Benedictine monks of Aversa and later passed to the Imperiali family. In the 19th century and, in particular, after the expulsion of the Bourbons, the Salina came under the control of the State Property Agency.

The Salina has survived two reclamation interventions: in 1882, when Avetrana was not included in the drainage program and in the mid-twentieth century, when the intervention was limited due to the scarce economic resources allocated. In 1960 it was separated from the sea with the construction of the Salento coast road, later removed in that stretch with the establishment of the Reserves.

The illustrated book "The never-ending story" by Fulvio Filo

Schiavoni, a Rotarian friend, tells the story of the place, long disputed, between Manduria and Avetrana.
