The Puglia/Molise region
Salento (Salentu in local dialect) is the south-eastern extremity of the Apulia region of Italy. It is a sub-peninsula of the main Italian peninsula, sometimes described as the "heel" of the Italian "boot"and is a rock of limestone dividing the Adriatic Sea from the Ionian Sea.
