Old regal it soothes of the mesapios, Brindisi, of his strategic position, was in favor always in contrast to the Tarento neighbor. In the 267 a. it was conquered by the Romans. A port was then activsimo and place of scale for the East and Greece connected to Rome through consular Via Appia the Regina Viarum and the Appia Traiana. Very interesting what it remembers to us Wikipedia exceeds she, who Brindisi would be conquered by the godos and in the Century I SAW, including by the Byzantine Empire in their sphere of influence. Destroyed in 674 by the longobardos of Benevento guided by Romualdo, in Century IX it was soothes, in the site of Guaceto Tower, of a sarraceno trench field.

Reconquered by the Byzantine ones, it remained under his dominion until the Norman conquest in the 1070 City where were buildings public, will be tie to the dynasties of the Svevos, the Angi and the Aragon. It will be later, dominion of Venice before happening to be dominion of Spain. The city that saw involved in the fights by the possession of the Kingdom of Naples; it was devastated by the plague in 1348 and destroyed by the 1456 earthquake. With Fernando I of Aragon it knew a period happy, happening later at the hands of the Venetian ones and of the Spaniards. In the period 1707-1734 Brindisi was Austrian possession, later Bourbon. The period of maximum splendor was reached with its annexation to just created Kingdom of Italy in 1860 and with the opening of the Suez Channel in 1869. During Brindisi World War I it was used as it soothes of the commando allied for the low Adriatic Between September of 1943 and February of 1944 the city was capital of Italy in functions. As it is possible to be noticed, there is much old history, in his streets note still rest of monuments, of that scene that at its time was active, even in World War II.

Certain, that I enjoy much the demurrage in that city, that does not fit the smaller doubt to accept the reincarnation, I had since to have lived in her. I feel a little I inconvenience I leave when it, a strange sensation, although in my transit by this world I have known many cities, lived in several countries. But Brindisi, is to me something very special.
