San Marzano di San Giuseppe (Shën Marcani in arbërisht, AFI: [ar'bəreʃ], Sa'Mmarzanu in Salento dialect) is an Italian municipality of 8,862 inhabitants[1] in the province of Taranto in Puglia. San Marzano di San Giuseppe, together with Casalvecchio di Puglia (Albanian: Kazallveqi) and Chieuti (Albanian: Qefti), is an ancient Albanian center (arbëresh) in the region, founded at the end of the 15th century. By number of citizens, today it is the largest of the Albanian colonies in Italy[4]. Its inhabitants have preserved the memory of their ancestors over the centuries and retain the use of the Albanian mother tongue (gjuha mëmë arbëreshe), remaining the only one among the 14 towns founded or re-founded by the Albanians of the province[5][6] to retain customs and customs of the country of origin[7]. The Byzantine, or Greek-Catholic, rite, typical of the Italian-Albanian community, became extinct in past centuries due to neighboring ecclesiastical pressures.

Roccaforzata is the smallest municipality in the province of Taranto by resident population. It stands on a hill, the highest in the Serra di Sant'Elia, at an altitude of 145 metres. It has medieval origins and was inhabited by Albanian followers of Scanderbeg in the fifteenth century. Its name derives from the rock position that made it impregnable, and from the small Monte della Croce Park, just outside the town, you can enjoy the panorama towards the Gulf of Taranto.
