Lecce (Italian: [ˈlettʃe] or locally [ˈlɛttʃe]; Sicilian: Lecci, Griko: Luppìu, Latin: Lupiae, Ancient Greek: Ἀλήσιον) is a historic city of 93,300 inhabitants (2013) in southern Italy, the capital of the province of Lecce, the third province in the region by population, as well as one of the most important cities of Apulia. It is the main city of the Salentine Peninsula, a sub-peninsula at the heel of the Italian Peninsula and is over 2,000 years old.
Because of the rich Baroque architectural monuments found in the city, Lecce is commonly nicknamed "The Florence of the South". The city also has a long traditional affinity with Greek culture going back to its foundation; the Messapii who founded the city are said to have been Cretans in Greek records. To this day, in the Grecìa Salentina, a group of towns not far from Lecce, the griko language is still spoken.
In terms of industry the "Lecce stone" is the city's main export, because it is very soft and workable, thus suitable for sculptures. Lecce stone is a kind of limestone. Lecce is also an important agricultural centre, chiefly for its olive oil and wine production, as well as an industrial centre specializing in ceramic production.

© CLAUDIO MORTINI* Conosciuta anche come la "Firenze del Sud", Lecce è una magnifica città di quasi 100.000 abitanti in grado di lasciare a bocca aperta per la sua esuberante architettura barocca. Le sculture in pietra che abbelliscono il centro sono cos' gioiosamente eccentriche da risultare grottescamente brutte o, al contrario, splendide: il viaggiatore Thomas Ashe, che visitò Lecce nel corso del XVIII secolo, la definì "la città più bella d'Italia", mentre il Marchese Grimaldi, di tutt'altro avviso, dichiarò che la facciata di Santa Croce gli faceva venire in mente l'incubo di un pazzo. La pietra locale, la cosiddetta pietra leccese, in realtà si presta molto alle stravaganze ed anche per questo in città si può distinguere uno stile innovativo, noto come barocco leccese, che fiorì tra ...
