Ciao Gary. Buona fortuna on finding out about your family. Have been to Bari. Nice place. How many
times have you been there? You really should go if you haven't been before.
Bari is the capital of the region of Puglia which forms the heel of the boot of Italy.(PULL-yah)
Bari was founded by the Greeks and developed by the Romans. The city is divided into two distinct
parts, the intriguing Citta Vecchia, situated at the end of Corso Cavour, with its tight tangle
of medieval streets and dazzling white houses, and the Citta Nuova, the modern city, with wide
grid like boulevards. The tortuous alleyways of the Morrish-style old city
protected the inhabitants from the wind and from invaders.
Buona fortuna.
