History about
Bari
About bari
The origins of Bari are very old, but not well established. Items dating to the Bronze Age have been found in the oldest part of the town; however, most of the historians agree that the town has been founded between 1600 and 1100 B.C. by Illyrians, coming from the Balcanian peninsula, on the opposite side of the Adriatic sea. The name probably derives from that of Barione, the leader of one of these Illyrian groups.
The first reliable information on Bari dates back to the 4th century B.C. when it went under the Roman rule. In the following centuries it had a special relation with Rome and Tito Livio underlined its strategic importance.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, Bari was involved in the war between the Gots, and late the Longobards, against the Byzantines.
history
In the 9th century, after many raids, the Arabs succeeded the Longobards and settled in Bari for about 30 years, setting up an emirate. It lasted until 871 when the army of Ludovico II brought back the city under the Byzantine rule, which on the contrary did not meet the people’s favour.
In 1071 the city was conquered by the Normans, led by Roberto il Guiscardo, and became part of the dukedom of Apulia and Calabria.
This was the beginning of an important period in the history of Bari. In 1087 St. Nicholas’ holy remains were taken away from Myra (Turkey) by a group of sailors and brought to Bari, where the building of a dedicated Basilica was decided and started immediately. In 1089 the remains were led by Pope Urbano II in the yet built crypt of the Basilica (the whole Basilica was completed after about 100 year).
Some tips
Later on, Bari and all the dukedom of Apulia and Calabria fell under the domination of the Norman King of Sicily, whose dynasty shortly came to the end and was replaced by the Hohenstaufen Swabians; this was the period in which Frederick II (later on crowned also Emperor of Germany) reigned. He loved Apulia (he was called “puer Apuliae”) and built or restored many castles in the regions, among which the Bari castle and the famous and mysterious Castel del Monte (on the top of a hill, about 50 km from Bari).
Angevin and Aragons rulers followed for about three centuries. Toward the end of this period, in the 16th century, two women had an important role in the Bari history: Isabel of Aragon, widow of the Duke of Milan Gian Galeazzo Sforza, who enlarged the castle making there her private residence, and Bona Sforza, Queen of Poland, who established strong links between Bari and the Cracow court.

The traditional cooking of Apulia owes its success to the most basic products of the region: durum wheat, tomatoes, olive oil, wine, fish and meat.
Each of these staple ingredients is at the basis of numbers of dishes which make the local cuisine so varied.
The scent of the land and the sea boasts in those recipes that only in the Apulian cuisine are expressed in all its delicacies.
The Gargano and the Murgia bread, the hard wheat pastas, the local grown vegetables, grapes and cherries, the extra virgin olive oil and almond sweets. All of this should be washed down with our famous local wines.
