Bari |
Bari is today a city enjoying a perfect balance between past and future, sea and hinterland, nature and gastronomy. The old town and the borgo murattiano highlight the appeal of two very different kinds of settings, while the combination of both mercantile and maritime vocations of the local people, has meant that Bari has been able to develop both its marine and agricultural aspects. This involves marketing of the abundant products of its fertile hinterland such as oil and wine, along with Pecorino cheese, olives and peaches, whereas the great fulcrum created by the Levante Fair has led to its industrial development.
