The Red House
A cultural hereditament
The Red House is an adjoining structure to the Victor Country, reachable on foot, a few meters form the hotel entrance. Heritage of great importance, with a one of a kind story made out of legends and anecdotes, that in the 2007 the Regional Authority for the cultural and landscape assets of Apulia has declared The Red House a cultural heritage of highly artist and historic interest.
During the first part of the 20thcentury, the Red House was a School of agricultural practice. Right after the first World War received the orphans of the soldiers and gave them the first elementary education. Since 1940 to 1943 received deported persons with high political rankings, most of them Hebrew’s from all Europe. Between 1947 and 1949 many women arrived from all Europe ex-collaborators or prostitutes, allies and people without ID: with them many children, that were also denied by all other civil society’s.
This story gave birth to the well-known movie “WOMEN WITHOUT NAMES” directed by Gèza von Radvànyi (Hungarian director) where Sophia Loren got the lead role.
