About Us

Salentiveness

For a long time, we looked with awe at the wonders of this mythical land: the warm breeze, the clear sea, the intense light, the welcoming faces.

But above all, we kept asking:

How do you tell the story of Salento without reducing it to a postcard?

Salentiveness is our answer.
It’s our way of telling – and helping you live – Salento not just as a place, but as a state of being.
We call it “living the Salentiveness”: a journey made of stories, legends, flavors, symbols, and emotions. All connected by an invisible thread you can only follow by paying close attention.

You won’t find everything at once.
In every new blog post, we reveal another layer: a hidden place, a forgotten name, a returning legend, or a secret about something you thought you knew.
That’s why we invite you to stay with us.
Salentiveness unfolds slowly, like a backstreet at sunset.

Our dream?
That our stories, drawings, and creations help you carry this land with you, wherever you go.
