DiscoVereto inaugurates the first systematic archaeological excavations at the ancient Messapian city of Vereto, near Patù in Capo di Leuca. The campaign initiates a multi-year research program focused on pre-Roman archaeology in the area, combining fieldwork with advanced digital techniques.
The program includes public-oriented archaeologist participation activities such as educational workshops, seminars and conferences, some hosted at the Vereto Archaeological Museum. Findings will be shared through outreach materials and a dedicated documentary.
The campaign is promoted by the University of Naples "L'Orientale" under the scientific direction of Prof. Valentino Nizzo, in cooperation with the Municipality of Patù, the Soprintendenza ABAP for Brindisi, Lecce and Taranto and the Regional Department of Culture of Puglia. The project is part of a broader initiative funded by PNRR and European cultural revitalization funds.
DiscoVereto offers a chance to explore Salento’s archaeology, support heritage protection and learn about Messapian society through modern techniques and community involvement.
