Description

Description

The history of the exhibition spaces in the new Foggia Fair goes back to Fascist reorganization. During such period, following the decision to relocate it to Campo Fiera in the Pila e Croce contrada, the Fair was equipped with a full range of infrastructures required to hold a national event. The building of the new facilities saw the participation of all the most dynamic economic institutions in town, namely, the Farming Consortium, the Industrialists’ Union and Banco di Napoli. The expansion of activities subsequently led to the renovation of existing spaces and to the construction of new areas such as the majestic Foro Boario.

Places to go

Places to go

Foggia is full of interesting spots and a good departure point to visit the surroundings, climbing right up to the Gargano promontory. A city rebuilt anew from the ruins of the powerful 18th century earthquake and the heavy bombings suffered in WWII. The old town centre holds wonderful Renaissance buildings along via Arpi.

Cathedral Started in 1170 and rebuilt after the earthquake, the impressive Romanesque arched façade has still partly survived. Other beautiful sights to see, the San Giovanni Battista church and Calvario church, named “delle Croci”, preceded by a row of five dome-shaped chapels and a Baroque arched entrance.

Surroundings

Surroundings

Troia (about 20 km from Foggia) Small centre southwest of Foggia, gently set on a hill dominating the extensive lowlands with the cultivated fields of the Tavoliere delle Puglie. A spectacular view from the public gardens, interesting XI century Norman cathedral with XIII century façade and amazing asymmetrical rose window.

Gargano promontory (about 50 km from Foggia) The massif stretches over Italy’s spur, with a series of snow-white calcareous cliffs, beautiful beaches and adoring pinewoods of the Umbra Forest. Follow the coast road from Manfredonia to Rodi Garganico, passing by Pugnochiuso, Vieste, then Peschici, the small centre of white houses nestled on a promontory and surrounded by ancient walls.
