Made at the Selva di Fasano in 1918 by Damaso Bianchi, a painter and nobleman from Fasano, with the workforce that came for the undertaking from Africa, most likely from distant Tunisia, as well as most of the materials used. A minaret very similar to the thousands scattered in Muslim countries, with the characteristic balcony from which, five times a day, the song of the muèzzin rises high, modulating with musical accents the 'suras' that, from the Koran, preach the teaching of the Prophet. The unique building was used as a family summer residence.
