TRANI: Trani enjoys an ideal geographic position, being at the
centre of the north Bari inland and the Apulian coast. It has the
unique quality of being a famous tourist centre renowned both for
its rich art heritage and for its sea (lovely and clean). Trani's
Cathedral is perhaps the most beautiful and famous building in
Apulian Romanesque style. The splendid scenario of its setting has
certainly contributed to this reputation: a marvelous large square
directly overlooking the sea. The façade is orientated towards the
lovely Swabian castle The Castle of Trani , while the apses tower
over the charming little fishing port.

Trani is encircled beautifulst archaeological situated cities and of
remarkable historical and cultural importance: Bari (40 kilometers)
with its Basilica of San Nicola, the archaeological zone of Canne
della Battaglia (20 kilometers) where 2 August of the 16 A.C. of
Hannibal Carthaginians destroyed the Roman army. Barletta (13
kilometers) with 12 kilometers of coast, its monuments like the
Svevo castle, the Colossus "Eraclio" and the Wine cellar of the
Disfida di Barletta (1503).

A lot very you use, document to you and illustrate to you from
specialized tourist guides that they will accompany to you in detail
on the place explaining what you will see. Regional gastronomy is
fundamentally linked to two factors: its geographical shape and its
historical affairs. In the case of Puglia, the flatness of the
region and its extensive coastline has led the inhabitants to animal
breeding, fishing, wheat, grape, and vegetable cultivation, as well
as to plant fruit and olive trees.

Obviously the gastronomic culture that has emerged is based on these
products. In the context of Italian customs, such a use of flour
could only lead to the production of fresh pasta (the famous Apulian
orecchiette but also strascenate, chiancarelle, troccoli, and so
on). Obviously for their preparation, a whole range of sauces based
on local products have also emerged, both from land and sea produce.
The abundance of the latter especially, has favoured the creation of
dishes based on blue fish, crustaceans and mollusks, some
traditionally eaten raw. Animal breeding, mainly of sheep, has led
to the traditional simple cuisine (skewered meat) or more elaborate,
like the gnemerìidde based on lamb's innards. Animal rearing also
led to dairy farming and the production of milk products and cheese
from the cow (mozzarella and fiordilatte) and sheep
(ricotta, "strong ricotta," cacioricotta).

Last, but not least, an important element of Apulian food is the
sweets, above all connected with religious occasions, (pèttue or
zèppole, taralli, cartellate). The typical cookery of Trani and
district is inserted in this regional context: "country" cookery
where vegetables and countryside herbs have pride of place, the
fragrance of the cold pressed olive oil, the intense aroma of
Mediterranean spices, the tastiness of the Adriatic fish and the
meats from the pastures of the Murges. It is a sober, wholesome and
simple world, but good and appetizing, which is well worth
exploring. All these God-given gifts are washed down with full-
bodied wines, including the outstanding Castel del Monte Doc (white,
rosé, and red), the formidable Castel del Monte Reserve, the Trani
Doc Muscat (in the natural sweet and raisin wine versions), and the
excellent sparkling wines made from the aromatic white wines
produced in the area. To complete the extraordinary range of good
food and drink is the traditional hospitality of the people of this
magnificent land.
