Lizza dei Briganti is the popular name given to a large holm oak (Quercus ilex) located in the Pisignano area, near Lecce. The name derives from the belief that this tree, with its branches touching the ground, offered shelter to bands of bandits during the Bourbon reign. Local tradition holds that the bandits found refuge under its broad branches, hence the name "Lizza dei Briganti," according to information given. The tree is also called "Lizza te lu Motta," a reference to the surname of the land's previous owner.
The history of Lizza dei Briganti is linked to the history of brigandage in southern Italy, a social and historical phenomenon that occurred in the 19th century, after the unification of Italy. Brigandage was a rebellion against the new political and social order, often composed of peasants, former Bourbon soldiers, and others who opposed the new regime. In addition to its historical importance, the Lizza dei Briganti is also appreciated for its beauty and majesty. It is a centuries-old holm oak, with a large trunk, a landmark in the local landscape.
