Apulia and its traditions
2
Apulia is a region in Southern Italy bordering
the Adriatic Sea in the east, the Ionian Sea to
the southeast, and the Strait of Òtranto and Gulf
of Taranto in the south. Its most southern
portion is known as Salento peninsula. The region
extends as far north as Monte Gargano, and was
the scene of the last stages in the Second Punic
War. Situated at the south-eastern tip of the
Italian peninsula, the central area of the region
is occupied by the Murge, a vast, semi-arid karst
plateau. The only mountainous areas are the
Gargano promontory and the Monti Dauni. Apulia is
a very dry region. Its few rivers are torrential
and are to be found on the Tavoliere delle
Puglie, a tableland at the foot of the Gargano
promontory that is one of the largest and
agriculturally most productive plains in Italy.

• Apulia is one of the richest regions in Italy in
  terms of archaeological findings. Apulia was an
  important area for the ancient Romans, who
  conquered it during the course of wars against
  the Samnites and against Pyrrhus. During the
  Imperial age Apulia was a flourishing area for
  production of grain and oil, becoming the most
  important exporter to the Eastern provinces.
  After the fall of Rome, Apulia was held
  successively by the Goths, the Lombards and the
  Byzantines. Bari became the capital and was ruled
  by a catepano (governor), hence the name of
  Capitanata of the Barese neighbourhood.

The characteristic Apulian architecture of the
11th13th centuries reflects Greek, Byzantine,
Norman, and Pisan influences.

product. The economy of Apulia is characterised
by a greater emphasis on agriculture and services
