The municipality of Galatina in the province of Lecce (Salento-Puglia) extends for approximately 82.00 km² and is located on the eastern side of a slight hill. The center is 78 meters above sea level, it slopes down to 39 meters towards Soleto above sea level. and reaches 84 meters above sea level. towards Galatone. The hamlets of Galatina are Collemeto, Noha and S. Barbara and it borders to the north with the municipalities of Copertino and Lequile, to the east with the municipalities of Soleto and Corigliano d'Otranto, to the south with the municipalities of Sogliano Cavour, Cutrofiano, Aradeo and Seclì, to the west the municipalities of Galatone and Nardò.The origin of the name appears to be the term "Galathena", from the Greek etymology gala-gàlactos, meaning milk, with reference to the fruitful, fertile and productive area of ​​pastures and dairy products. According to some scholars, "Galatina" derives from the Greek name Galatos, while for others, who believe that the origins of the town can be attributed to the Thessalians, the toponym is linked to the name of Galatena, the city of origin of that people. Still others maintain that it descends from Galata, daughter of Theseus. Probably, the safest scientific interpretation is that given by Gerhard Rohlfs, according to whom the term derives from a family named Galati, of which, through the Greek suffix-inos, we would have Galatini: therefore, the citizens of Galatina should not be called Galatinesi but Galatini.
