Carpino

Carpino, a small village of the Italian Gargano region, has tied its name to the rebirth of the traditional popular music of Gargano as an artistic value to preserve and study. The group "Cantori di Carpino" (Carpino Singers), by reinterpreting ancient tarantella's, enabled the development of a broadly articulated project regarding traditional popular music of southern Italy. Officially, in historical records, this municipality is first mentioned in 1158, in a bull of pope Adrian IV, with which the abbey of Monte Sacro obtained privileges on the church of St. Peter e St. Mary near the castellum capralis. This location can be identified as the municipality, as subsequently confirmed from historical documents. Located on a rise rich of extraordinarily beautiful an well cured olive trees, Carpino is nicknamed "Citt dellolio" (City of Oil) because of its vocation in producing oil. Noteworthy are the archaeological site of the "grotte di Minutille" (the Minutille caves), the Church of the Holy Cross, the Church of Saint George and the Church of Saint Cyrill.
