Sava is a town and comune in the province of Taranto, Apulia, southeast Italy.

Some of the finds of the district of Agliano, dating from around 300 BC, attest to the Greek presence in the present territory of Sava.

At the end of the 7th century AD, with the division of the Apulia region between Byzantines and Lombards, a wall built in dry limestone of modest size was built here.

Although there are no documents proving the origins of the village of Sava, the majority of local historians agree that its foundation dates from the 15th century.

On 19 August 1976 a powerful tornado struck the city of Sava and the surrounding countryside, until exhausting near Manduria; its passage led to intense rainfall and strong winds that caused extensive damage.
