In its like a new colony, Heraelea, was founded, while the surviving inhabitants of Siris retreated inland creating a new urban nucleus called Castrum Boletum. During the Spanish domination of the feud Boleto was given to the family of Don Pedro Sandoval de Castro, whose son, Diego, established a sentimental relationship, based on poetic verses exchanged by correspondence, with Isabella Morra, the poet of Favale (nowadays called Valsinni ). However both of them were murdered by her very brothers.The village was named Bolla (from the name of a mushroom) and held that name until 1872, when it became known as Nova Siri, by a Royal decree in memory of the ancient town of Siris.
