Villa Saetta boasts a fascinating history. Originally a masseria
inhabited by a religious hermit, known as the monk Saetta, it was transformed into
a sumptuous country residence by the Duke of Taurisano and Baron of
Monteroni di Lecce last century. The mansion is embellished with details that
tell its story, including the coat of arms of the noble owner family and the
inscription “Fluctuat nec mergitur“ (“it floats but does not sink“), a motto that recalls
the city of Paris and has special meaning for the family.
Over the years, Villa Saetta has served as a refuge for important American soldiers and
Germans during World War II, as well as a gathering place
for the family and their guests. The villa secretly housed those who not
could be accommodated in the main Lecce mansion. Tales of forbidden love
and extraordinary discoveries are intertwined with its history, making every
corner of this mansion full of charm and mystery.
