 | | Once upon a time, in an area where the peoples used to speak a "greco-salentino" dialect, the griko, there was the habit to indicate by using that idiom a particular aspect of the land, a preponderant plant or a rural plant characterized by a certain extent. |
 | | The reference is an "ellenofona" island, the so called " Grecia salentina", consisting of only 9 towns (Calimera, Castrignano dei Greci, Corigliano d'Otranto, Martano, Martignano, Melpignano, Soleto, Sternatia, Zollino) where, besides the language, worships, traditions, habits, a literary patrimony and greek folk-songs are passed down. |
 | | With the farmholidys Appidè, in the territory of Corigliano, the widespread presence of wild pear-trees (the plural of appidéa) is identified, sprung out and grown spontaneously, from sour and stiff fruits. |
