Some archaeological finds found in the “Agliano District” dating back to the 300 B.C. testify the Greek presence in the current territory of Sava. Very likely it was the last outpost in the territory of Taranto towards southern Salento inhabited by the Messapian. At the end of the VII century A.D., with the partition of the Apulian territory between Byzantines and Lombards, a dry-wall made of small-sized calcareous stones known as “Paretone” or “Limitone dei Greci” (Greeks’ great wall) was built along the border. The “Limitone” went from the Adriatic coast south of Brindisi to the Ionian coast: the current territory of Sava was crossed by the wall from the “La Zingara” site to the “Magalastro” Mount.
Despite the fact that there are not any documents attesting the origins of Sava, most local historians agree on the fact that its foundation dates back to the XV century. However, historian P. Coco conjectured that the town has more ancient origins. His conjecture is supported by a document with which King Alfonso II of Naples allowed the selling of the “Pasano”, “Aliano”, “Albaro” and “Saba” hamlets because they were considered “abandoned”; therefore, the usage of this term several times in the document suggests that the hamlets had been previously inhabited. At the beginning of the XIV century the “Aliano” and “Pasano” hamlets were still inhabited by a few families who lived a quite miserable life until the second half of the same century when they completely disappeared because of the constant devastations of their lands caused by the conflicts between Angevins and Aragonese for the conquer of the Kingdom of Naples.
In 1798 the nobleman Giuseppe De Sinno from Tarentum bought the two farmhouses of Aliano and Pasano from the “Azienda di Educazione” and afterwards many other estates including the castle with all its lands and profits. With the subversive feudalism laws of the Napoleonic Era, Sava obtained municipal autonomy becoming county town within the “Terra D’Otranto” province. At that time the town was district administrative centre and the “Torricella” and “Monacizzo” small outlying suburbs were part of it. In 1898 these two suburbs became part of the town of “Lizzano”.
For many years in the 20th century Sava, like the neighbouring towns, has seen a lot of citizens emigrate to Northern Italy and some to Northern Europe. On 19 august 1976 a violent tornado hit the town of Sava and the surrounding countryside until it ran out of energy in the close vicinity of Manduria. Its passage caused intense rainfall and wind storms with consequent severe damages.
