 Bari  -  City Council Bari  -  Capital City of Apulia and seaport
A long, straight road, the wide and well-lit Corso Vittorio Emanuele, divides the city into two distinct parts as if drawing the boundaries between two different periods in history. The memory of the courage of Medieval sailors lives on today in the maze of alleys and courtyards that characterises the Old Town, which jealousy guards its renowned monuments. It stands in stark contrast to the industrious, dynamic, modern city , with its long, wide roads along which have risen the many buildings which bear testimony to the city's prodigious urban development.
