Torre Santa Susanna (Brindisi)
Torre Santa Susanna (Torri in local dialect) is a comune in the province of Brindisi in Puglia,on the south-east Italy coast in the Salento peninsula. Its main economic activities are tourism and the growing of olives and grapes. History The Romans had two forts built here after the Second Punic War. According to tradition, in the 3rd century AD a Roman soldier wrote the name of St. Susanna on one of these towers ("Torre" in Italian), whence the name. After a series of plagues and earthquakes, population from the nearby hamlet took refuge here, giving birth to the current town. References
