Porto Selvaggio Coast
One could talk of Porto Selvaggio by describing the physical area that bears this name, an area dominated by a rocky coastline that sometimes towers over the sea and sometimes descends into rocky coves where the natural vegetation, the garrigue, the shrub and the botanic endemisms alternate with the pine forest, introduced around the middle of last century. One could also place the emphasis on the precious archeological finds and discoveries that have taken place, like the passage from pre-historic figurative art to abstract art (documented by finds dating back to years ago), the presence of an original paleolithic culture, called Uluzziana (distinguished by its use of small calcareous tools in the shape of a half-moon and necklaces of pierced shells) and the bringing forward of the period, from to years ago, when Homo sapiens sapiens fossilis is said to have lived in Puglia. One could point to the precious paleontological witness borne by fossils of fish and mammal bones and their importance on the Italian panorama, where very few other areas have conserved similarly significant “treasures”.
