SAN PIETRO VERNOTICO
between history and battles
The Normans built a Baronial Tower in the town,
which has always been used for defense against enemy incursions.
In memory of the victory against the Turkish invasion,
every year, on the Sunday following Easter,
the characteristic ritual of the Flagstaff takes place,
a banner and war emblem seized from the looters.
