Presicce was a town and comune in the Italian province of Lecce in the Apulia region of south-east Italy. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[1] In 2019 it was merged with the adjacent Acquarica del Capo to form Presicce-Acquarica.
In 2022, facing a declining population, the town launched the program to reverse the trend and revitalize the town by offering €30,000 to people who are willing to purchase an empty structure and relocate to the old quarter.[2]
