History[edit | edit source]

San Giacomo degli Schiavoni was repopulated in the first half of the 16th century.

Jurisdictions:

  • Prior to repopulation, it likely belonged to the Kingdom of Naples, which was under Spanish rule during this period.
  • Since the 16th century, it has been part of the Kingdom of Naples/Two Sicilies, the Kingdom of Italy, and currently, the Italian Republic.

Major events:

  • Repopulation by Slavic colonists: The arrival of Slavic refugees from Dalmatia fleeing Ottoman Turkish rule significantly shaped the town's history and culture.
  • Earthquakes and Famine: These events likely contributed to the depopulation of the area before the Slavic arrival.[1]
