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.

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.

Punta della Suina is one of the most beautiful and famous beaches of Salento a few kilometers away from Gallipoli. It offers a breathtaking view of the sea and the beach is made up of fine golden sand, surrounded by a pine forest that offers shade and coolness. It is an unmissable destination for those who want to fully experience the magic of Salento.

At the gates of Ugento in the locality of Cupelle, this beautiful and rare underground dovecote carved into the rock is located in the rock complex. Very suggestive. https://www.salogentis.it/2014/11/29/il-villaggio-rupestre-di-ugento/

The truth is that, although the enhancement interventions of the archaeological site are visible but have been poorly maintained over the years, little has been done to make known the periods and times in which you can go to visit the excavations. http://www.salogentis.it/2012/03/17/la-grotta-delle-veneri-di-parabita/
