Olive oil production drives the economy of Carovigno, an upper Salento town home to 15,896 residents. Historically recorded under the Latin name Carbina, the municipality is defined by the agricultural landscape of northern Apulia, where vast olive groves stretch toward the nearby coastline.
A growing influx of international visitors, particularly from England and Germany, has recently reshaped the local hospitality sector. Travelers are increasingly using Carvìgni—to use its Salentino dialect name—as a quiet alternative to the busy neighboring destination of Ostuni, taking advantage of its direct proximity to the sea.
