Guided tours on 1 May at the Castello Volante and in the historic centre of Corigliano, focusing on the stories of workers past and present.
What sort of work was carried out in a medieval castle and a Renaissance fortress? Who worked for the Baron in 1749, according to the land registry of the time? What does the Castello’s tobacco shop tell us about the history of women’s work in Salento and the early trade union struggles? Who are the artists and craftspeople who left their artistic mark or traces on the monuments of the historic centre?
Who are the workers today who bring the cultural services and events at Castello Volante to life?
This focus on work will, on this day, open the doors of the castle and the historic centre of Corigliano d’Otranto to anyone wishing to explore them.
