Abstract
The Salento peninsula is the ‘heel of the boot’ drawn by the perimeter of the Italian coastline. It is placed to the south of the alignment Brindisi-Taranto cities, between the Ionian and the Adriatic seas. Its geological structure is made of a thick Mesozoic carbonate sequence covered by Tertiary and Quaternary deposits. Landscape evolution is the result of the interaction between tectonics, karst and marine processes controlled by climate and sea-level changes. The landscape of Salento peninsula is mainly composed of landforms shaped by the action of waters, both continental and marine ones, notwithstanding it is known to be currently a region without extended surficial drainage catchments.
