About us… and turtles<\/h2>\r\n $\"Esterno$ <\/a>\r\n\r\nThe House of Polluce, in the heart of Giurdignano, was built by our forefathers in 1725 as a country seat to manage agricultural production. At the end of the XIX century it became the main family residence until 1960 when the last generation of Polluce decided to move to Bologna, coming back to Giurdignano only during summer holidays.\r\n\r\nIn 1980, the current owner and heir Luigi Polluce – who in the meantime married Patrizia and became father of Francesca – dreamed of recovering the old house where he had been born. Thus \u201cNostra Signora dei Turchi\u201d appeared, as a tribute to Carmelo B\u00e8ne, an inspired artist from Salento and f\u00ecrst \u201cintellectual romance\u201d of the owner.\r\n\r\nThe unique idea was to create a special club in Salento that would offer to his guests a selection of cultural events with prestigious auteur: the \u201cAppuntamenti d\u2019Autore\u201d. The dream carne true and the club climbed from success to success for more than 20 years. Who had the opportunity to share – from 1982 to 2000 – the experience of the concerts of Paolo Conte, Chet Baker, Ray Charles,\u00a0Michel Petrucciani, Ivano Fossati, Fiorella Mannoia, Patty Pravo, Omelia Vanoni, Gino Paoli – and many other stars of whom the \u201ccelebrity gallery\u201d of Nostra Signora dei Turchi is full of- will never forget.\r\n\r\n $\"Dettaglio$ <\/a>Today, after a long and careful restoration, this ancient house that \u201cne ha viste tante di regine\u201d, is a refiage ready to welcome few travelling companions with whom to share the chance to live \u201cvia dalla pazza folla\u201d.\r\n\r\nThought more for travellers than tourists, this piace seeks to express emotions and an ambient hard to encounter nowadays, far away from trends: a way to live in peace with oneself like turtles do.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
