Panorama of Canosa di Puglia

Canosa di Puglia, generally known simply as Canosa (

Bohemund I of Antioch
.

Name

Canosa is the

Servius, Canusium derived from canis ("dog"), an animal associated with the local worship of Aphrodite.[5] Other derivations include from Greek kháneon (χάνεον, "wicker basket"), from the abundant wicker growing along the Ofanto; the Hebrew chanuth ("tavern");[dubious – discuss] and the Etruscan name Canzna.[5]

Geography

Rare snow in Canosa di Puglia.

Territory

Canosa sits on the

Adriatic Sea. The town sits upon the Murgia plateau, between 105 and 140 meters (344 and 459 ft) above sea level. The city is built on a mostly sandy or clay surface that covers a limestone layer ("calcareniti of Gravina") which in turn constitutes the typical white-yellowish tuff
and is easily collapsible. This morphological feature allowed the underground construction of artificial grottoes (used in the 19th century as cellars), and the creation of a Hypogeum. The tuff derived from the excavations has gone towards the construction of buildings on the surface. There are risks of subsidence due to the presence of caves and underground channels typical of karst environments. The buildings of the town of Canosa are considered high risk for collapse.[6] In recent years there have been many building failures and disruptions of roads. The area extends south to the slopes of the Murgia, and is mostly flat. The basins of Rendina and Locone contribute to the large area 150 square kilometers (58 sq mi).

Climate

Canosa has a typical

temperate
climate, mild spring and autumn, and cold winters and mild summers. The monthly average temperature is strongly influenced by the Murgiano Range from 7.7 °C (46 °F) in January, to 24.9 °C (77 °F) in August. The average annual rainfall is 547 millimetres (21.5 in) of rainfall, distributed mainly in the period from September to April.

History

Prehistory

The

Iapyges, during the Neolithic (6th to 4th millennia BC). Toppicelli on the Ofantina plain has revealed buildings and tombs of a rich aristocracy that also seem related to this group.[9]

Excavations have also discovered metal and amber designs which appear

Etruscan.[5]

Antiquity

Canusion became an important commercial center for craftsman, especially of ceramics and pottery.

civil wars that followed,[8] it seems to have suffered greatly and been much reduced in size,[4] although it improved its status to a self-governing municipality (municipium) in 88 BC[10] and protected those privileges throughout the conflicts. A list of its local senators has been recovered from the ruins.[8]

The town was a center for agricultural production and trade, particularly in

Roman colony (colonia) under Marcus Aurelius.[11] Herodes Atticus oversaw the process and constructed an aqueduct,[4] completed in 141.[10] Antoninus Pius made it the capital of the Province of Apulia and Calabria.[10]
Towards the end of the 3rd century it became the capital of Apulia and Calabria II Royal.

Middle Ages

Medieval map of Canosa.

The city continued to flourish into the early medieval period,

Council of Sardica, and Bishop Probus intervened decisively against a Spanish bishop who wanted to name his own successor in a council convoked at Rome by Pope Hilarius in 465. The diocese reached its apogee under St Sabinus (514–566),[14][15] who subsequently was honored as the town's patron saint.[8]

The area suffered severely at the hands of the

Bari's archbishops until 1986.[a] (It remains a titular see.)[17]

In 963, Canosa was rebuilt at a site below the former Roman city.

Bohemund I of Antioch (d. 1111), son of Robert Guiscard, it regained some of its earlier importance.[10] The 5-domed cathedral of St Sabinus was completed in 1101. Bohemund's tomb is located just to its south.[16] Following the extirpation of the Hohenstaufens, however, it again went into decline.[10]

Modernity

Piazzetta Volturino

The ruins and settlement of Canosa were repeatedly damaged by earthquakes, particularly those in 1361,

Napoleon in 1803.[citation needed] As a fief, it was controlled by the Casati, the Orsini of Balzo [it], the Grimaldi of Monaco, the Gemmis family of Castelfoce, the Affaitati of Barletta, and the Capece Minutolo of Naples.[18] Tiberio Capece was named "prince of Canosa" in 1712.[11]

After the

bourgeois town as demonstrated by the construction of palaces. Virtually unscathed by World War I, the town suffered the effects of the 1930 Irpinia earthquake
, which caused enormous damage.

On 6 November 1943, during

armistice of 8 September. Some buildings were damaged, including the churches of San Francesco and San Biagio and the Town Hall, and 57 people lost their lives. In April 2001 the City of Canosa was awarded the bronze medal for Civil Valor in remembrance of the tragedy. On 17 September 1962, by decree of the President, Canosa was awarded the title of City for its historical traditions and the merits acquired by the community. In 1980 Canosa was again damaged by an earthquake
.

Currently the economy of Canosa is based mainly on

textiles, food processing
and manufacturing.

Main sights

Religious architecture

Cathedral of San Sabino

The Cathedral of San Sabino was founded in the 8th century by the

Benedict XV.[19]

Nave of the basilica of San Sabino.

The plan of the basilica is a Latin cross, covered by five domes and an apse lit by three windows, whose central body is covered with a stained glass window depicting the patron saint. It is an example of Romanesque/Byzantine architecture. Below the chancel are the crypt, shrine of the saint. The arches are supported by marble columns with Corinthian capitals, which were retrieved from devastated ancient monuments. The cathedral lies three feet below the square.[19]

After the earthquake of 1851, the cathedral was damaged and the restoration work led to an expansion of the Latin cross, as well as the reconstruction of the

facade in local tuff with three portals
, each corresponding to the aisles. The chapels contain in order: a
Alphonsus Maria de Liguori
, and the tomb of Blessed Father Antonio Maria Losito (1838–1917).

The left aisle houses the tomb of the

St. Joseph.[19]

The

presbytery has a high altar with ciborium, set on a marble base with three steps, surmounted by a canopy supported by four red marble columns with Corinthian capitals, octagonal pyramid in two sections held up a total of 48 columns of the same marble, very similar to that in the Basilica of San Nicola di Bari.[19]

Its construction was commissioned by Raffaele Lembo, a wealthy local grain merchant, and dates to 1923. The draft prepared by engineer and architect Arturo Boccasini of Barletta, had designed the Teatro Di Lillo of Barletta and had collaborated on the project of Teatro Margherita di Bari. The theater was opened in late 1926 when, with scarce economic resources, they completed part of the structure including without ornaments and decorations. Purchased by the City of Canosa and delivered to the city on 5 February 2005, the historic theater will be completely renovated and restored to house performances again.[19] In May 2006 the renovation work were frozen after of an exceptional archaeological discovery, which was found under the gallery of the theater. This is a complicated intersection of Imperial age with some structures being from the Archaic Age (8th-7th centuries BC).

The lapidarium is composed of a remarkable archaeological heritage with Dauna and Roman inscriptions, funerary reliefs, capitals and columns, lintels, and the well of the imperial villas.

Archaeological sites

Canosa Castle.

Castle

The "castle" is actually the acropolis of ancient Canosa (Castrum Canus). The three great towers are the ruins of the eponymous estate located atop the hill overlooking the valley Ofantina. Originally a place of worship and pre-Roman fort, built of tufa blocks was rebuilt as a bastion of the same materials by the Grimaldi. Last owners, from 1856, were the Prince of Canosa Capece Minutolo of Naples, and remained until 1948.[20] The wear of the blocks that compose it and the color denotes the passage of these various civilizations that have developed the structure in different epochs. The castle has also reported damage after the devastating bombing of the Second World War.[20] Along the steep hill of the Acropolis, there is the old part of the country, with its narrow streets and staircases. At the southern base lie the remains of a Roman amphitheater.

Temples and archaic churches

Basilica di San Leucio
Remains of the San Leucio Basilica

The Basilica of San Leucio is one of the greatest examples of early Christian architecture in Apulia. A pagan temple until the 2nd century AD, probably dedicated to Minerva, was transformed into a Christian Basilica between the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The structure is the result of merging the cultures of

mosaics, tufa plastered figured capitals and painted columns in Doric – Ionic
. The early Christian Basilica of San Leucio was built on a
concentric squares with colonnade exedras. The architecture of the basilica is of oriental inspiration, with preference for large color spaces. In the 9th century a chapel was built adjoining the apse for burial rites.[22]

Basilica di San Pietro

The Basilica di San Pietro was the first cathedral of the Christian era, then transformed into a tomb of Saint Sabino (556), patron of Canosa. The complex is with three naves, apse and

University of Foggia and the University of Bari.[22]

Baptistry of San Giovanni

The main body of the twelve-sided shape, contained a heptagonal baptismal font. The compositions were mainly in marble and tuff. The columns that support the barrel vault was damaged over time, as they have lost the gold mosaics that once covered it. Corresponding to the cardinal points, left four small

University of Foggia. Recently, under the Baptistry, have yielded two distinct levels of an early Christian church.[22]

Temple of Jupiter "Toro"

The Roman temple of

peripteral temple with six columns on the short sides and ten on the long sides, and a brick staircase, took its name from a statue of Jupiter found at the excavation in 1978.[22]

Other sites
Roman bridge over the Ofanto river

Among other monuments are the Ofanto Roman Bridge (1st century AD), which allowed the passage of the Via Traiana from one side of the river and was used for road traffic until the 1970s. It was reconstructed in the Middle Ages and restored again in 1759. The base consists of four pillars shaped like a spearhead and five mixed arches. Notable are the Tower and Mausoleums, Casieri Bagnoli and

Barbarossa, and the Arch of Gaius Terentius Varro, opus latericium and the opus reticulatum monuments dedicated to the passage of the Roman consul in the Battle of Cannae. The first three sites preserve the remains of some of the fallen in the battle.[22]
Finally, the Roman Baths (Ferrara and Lomuscio) located in the city center came to light in the 1950s. They have enriched
mosaics

Louvre Museum in Paris
). The museum collection includes:

Palazzo Sinesi - Archaeological Foundation Canosina

The museum, through an extensive development of original objects, traces the daily rural life in the last century, browsing habits and customs of a civilization now vanished.[3] The museum is divided into three macro-areas:

  • Domestic life: pots, kettles, wooden spoons,
    faggots
    to feed the flame and other tools for preparation of food farmers. Also furniture, a stroller, representations of deities placed on the facades of houses.
  • Agriculture:
    agrarian civilization
    objects linked to production and consumption of extra virgin olive oil, wine and wheat.
  • The craft: the tools of the blacksmith, the tinsmith, shoemaker, plus all the necessary trades related to the processing of clay, hides, the production of cheeses and dairy products.

Food and wine

The 'Canosina' gastronomy is strongly linked to rural and Mediterraneans culinary traditions. One of the most characteristic is the burned flour of wheat (in the Apulian dialect gren IARS): A dark meal of humble origins, obtained from the grain recovered from the burning of stubble after harvest, from which it was produced the characteristic dark color meal. This recovery was done by people who could not afford the "normal" flour. The most original and popular products that are obtained by mixing equal parts white flour and wheat flour are burned dragged (in dialect strasc-net) with prosciutto and bread (in dialect ppen to prusutt) to make a dark bread mixed with white. Distinguishing gastronomy features of the city are the renowned

extra virgin olive oil obtained from Corato olives. Rosso Canosa Wine, produced with Uva di Troia (grapes of Troy
, also called a variety of Canosa). Wine production also includes white and red wines, as well as excellent sparkling wines. The main products under the brand IGT (Typical Geographic Indication) are: Nero di Troia, Trebbiano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Puglia Rosso, Sangiovese.

The toll of Canosa is 172 km from Naples, 611 km from Bologna and 133 km from Taranto. At average of 15 - 20 thousand cars, with peaks of 40 - 45 thousand units, and the toll road of Canosa will be extended.[25] In the northeast the modern Provincial Road 231 Andries Coratina (SS 98) parallels the Via Traiana built by Emperor Trajan in 108 AD, linking the ancient Trajan Benevento to Brindisi. In Roman times there was probably a port for shipment of goods, which still is an all-important reference port located at Barletta. Other roads of major importance are the Provincial Road 231 Andries Coratina (SS 98) and State Road 93 Appulo Lucana Barletta-Canosa.[26]
