It is a neighborhood located on the southeastern side of Alberobello and takes its name from the fact that in ancient times a "small" threshing floor, used for the collection of tithes, was placed there, as opposed to another "larger" threshing floor in the area. Today the entire neighborhood is perhaps the most characteristic and peaceful corner of the town, in many ways still inhabited by citizens of Alberobello and free from the chaotic air of the bazaars of the other trulli district. Here it is still possible to breathe in the living charm of these unique structures. A national monument since 1930 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, the Aia piccola neighborhood is definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Alberobello.
