a sumptuous country residence by the Duke of Taurisano and Baron of
Monteroni di Lecce in the last century. The mansion is enriched with details that
narrate its history, including the coat of arms of the noble owner family and the inscription
and the inscription ‘Fluctuat nec mergitur' (‘it floats but does not sink'), a motto that recalls
the city of Paris and which has a special meaning for the family.
Over the years, Villa Saetta has been a refuge for important American and
Germans during the Second World War, as well as being a place of gathering
