Historically, the little town of San Simone
was founded around the year 1600
and it was then, thanks to the countryside's well-known healthy and salutary features, when the wealthy families living on the coastline, chose it as a place for regeneration and for their holidays during the long, hot summer time in 'Salento'.
The area became an ideal place for a longer stays and in a short time rose the little church of San Simone (1664), recently renovated, beside the little palace of #ViaGiustiTre. Then, some family units started to move here permanently, establishing the first built up areas and working in the surronding flourishing lands.
The folk tales trace the origin of ViaGiustiTre little palace to the year 1700, at first as a stable and a warehouse at ground level, then years later with more rooms in different sizes to meet the needs of those families previously living here. The official documentation report the building existence in 1950, when it was officially registered at the (new founded) "District Registry office".
