San Pietro Vernotico, Administrative commune in Province of Brindisi, Italy.
San Pietro Vernotico stands at 26 meters above sea level, featuring a Norman castle, a square tower, and streets lined with traditional Pugliese architecture.
The settlement emerged around a Basilian monastery between the 8th and 9th centuries, developing into a formal Universitas Sancti Petri Vernotici by 1300.
The town celebrates Saints Peter and Paul on June 29th with a procession, flag auctions, and the Giostra della Papara knight competition.
The population of 12,882 residents maintains agricultural traditions through olive groves and vineyards, producing local wines and olive oil.
In 1480, townspeople captured a Turkish flag during an invasion attempt, which is now displayed annually in a ceremonial auction after Easter.
