Frantoi ipogei Piazza del popolo https://goo.gl/maps/KpDz9ttTwqYbR3SSA Underground oil mills started to develop, which are historically known as cave oil mills. In these locations olives were processed and oil was produced, an operation fostered by the mild and constant climate of those underground areas. The oil mills complex featuring the borough of Presicce, which creates almost a parallel underground city is still partly unknown and is to be considered as the result of continuous refurbishments, extensions of pre-existing caves, abandonments and reuses, which have shaped these places throughout the centuries. Presicce counted up to 23 underground oil mills in 1816, before they decreased over time. In autumn, with the beginning of the olive harvest, the crews were formed, groups of five men, usually three mill workers, a boy (turlicchiu) and a crew chief (nachiru). Each crew had two donkeys or mules, rarely horses, that were deployed to rotate the mill. From October until March the crews worked uninterruptedly together with these animals, day and night, according to well established shifts. The work shift was so pressing that they were even exonerated from celebrating Sunday. The olives were unloaded from the tows, through circular jugs located on the road level, in the slopes, then stored in silos waiting for milling. The animal would turn the millstone in a large tank, smashing the olives in order to make a mush of them. This mush was then filled in circular filters made of beaten and intertwined reed ropes (fisculi), which in turn were stacked on the press base. The oil produced was largely sold, ships departed from Gallipoli to deliver it throughout Europe.
