Title of the point of interest: MEDIEVAL FARMHOUSE OF ANFIANO
Text to translate:
It is one of the three medieval farmhouses along the Via Francigena between the territories of Cannole and Giurdignano: from north to south, Cercetum (today Torcito), Anfiano, and Palanzano. Literally, the toponym means "place with nothing around, abandoned, isolated."
Inhabited already in Roman times, the actual farmhouse arose in the Byzantine era, as evidenced by some underground environments intended for worship preserved in the area.
In the 13th century, Anfiano was part of the Principality of Taranto. It was then granted as a barony to the Cerasoli Family and, through marriage, passed to the Sambiasi. Many others were the feudal lords of Anfiano, including the Tolomei, the Prato, the Marascallo, the Personè, the Venturi, the Gualtieri, and the Salzedo.
The agricultural structure, still existing today although abandoned, presents itself as a cluster of small buildings from the 18th-19th century, independent from each other and equipped with granaries, wells, and stables.
