Cool route with no traffic. Nice gravel section. I've also ridden along it on a road bike. I recommend 32-inch tires, though. 😅

Serranova is a small agricultural village, about 9 km from Carovigno and not far from the sea; it is made up of a few houses, inhabited both in summer and winter. The Castle of Serranova was the object of several alienations from feudal lord to feudal lord: from Ottavio Serra to Scipione Costaguto in 1653, from him to the Castaldo family, then to Giulio di Sangro in 1684, finally in 1702 it came into the hands of the baron Scipione Granafei [unsourced] [1]; the Granafei family gave prestige to that territory, renowned for its extension and for the significant number of centuries-old olive trees that it included. In 1742, the fiefdom and the Castle of Serranova came to Michele Imperiali, prince of Francavilla Fontana and lord of Carovigno. With the death of Michele Imperiali, who had no successor, the last devolution to the Treasury took place in 1782.

It is an ancient artefact, located on land owned by the Argentieri - Rubino family, which has become independent, through cadastral subdivision and application of a specific fence (with a dry stone wall along the side facing the road), from a large olive grove surrounding.

The Church of S. Donato (*) is located in Latiano in C.da Coltura (Ceglie-Mesagne municipal road), isolated in the countryside, in an agricultural area cultivated with olive groves and vineyards, it is part of the Parish of S. Maria della Neve. The building shows a simple line with the façade facing west, of a gabled mono-fastigiate type. Only the load-bearing structures are made with tuff ashlars, while the construction technique that can be seen in the missing parts of plaster shows the construction system of the opus incertum.
