  • Northern Puglia & the Gargano Promontory
    © Lonely Planet Publications 84 www.lonelyplanet.com 85 Northern Puglia & the Gargano Promontory Crowning Italy’s boot, the northern province of Foggia (the capitanata) is an attractive NORTHERN PUGLIA & THE NORTHERN PUGLIA & THE land of contrasting geographical bands, from the mountainous rocky spur of the Gargano GARGANO PROMONTORY Promontory to the vast flat tablelands of the Tavoliere and the gentle rolling hills of the Daunia Pre-Apennines. The Tavoliere is the wheatbowl of southern Italy, covering half of the capitanata in a 3000-sq-km geometric chequerboard of golden fields. Tracks across the plains bear witness to the centuries-old transhumance routes, the ancient droving trails or tratturi along which sheep and cattle were moved from Abruzzo to Puglia. The wheatfields surrounding the provincial capital of Foggia gently give way to the wetlands and salt works of Margherita di Savoia on the southeast coast, a region famous for its prolific birdlife. To the west, the Tavoliere merges into the undulating foothills, shallow valleys and wooded slopes of the beautiful Daunia mountains. Here, castles and towers of the medieval hilltop towns watch over Foggia’s Pre-Apennine border. Puglia’s only mountainous zone is the stunning Gargano Promontory, a blunt spur of limestone cliffs and dense forest jutting into the blue Adriatic Sea. Its landscape, flora and fauna are a geographical anomaly in Puglia’s Mediterranean mezzogiorno, more Croatian than southern Italian. Millions of years ago the Gargano was separated from the mainland by a thin strip of ocean. Now its unique beauty and summer seaside resorts are a favourite with Italian and German tourists.

In cultural heritage, their potential is still to be fully explored. This paper aims to illustrate how remote sensing and open source tools are useful for archaeological investigations. The whole issue revolves around the application of satellite (Sentinel-2) and accessory tools for the identification, knowledge and protection of the cultural heritage of two areas of southern Italy: Sant’Arsenio (SA) and Foggia (FG). Both study cases were selected for a specific reason: to demonstrate the usefulness of open data and software for research and preservation of cultural heritage, as in the case of urban sprawl, development of public works (gas- and oil-pipelines, etc.) or intensive use of land for agricultural purposes. The results obtained are relevant for the knowledge improvement and very useful to operate in the field of preventive archaeology, for the evaluation and management of risk, the planning of city-expansion or infrastructures that could damage the buried heritage.

  • Foreign Labour Exploitation in the Agricultural Sector of the Province of Foggia Structural Dynamics
    Aalborg University Department of Culture and Global Studies Global Refugee Studies Foreign labour exploitation in the agricultural sector of the Province of Foggia Structural dynamics Paula Guagliano & Lisa Anita Mascheroni Student IDs: 20172587 - 20171584 Abstract Southern Italy presents high levels of labour exploitation in the field of agriculture (Corrado, 2018). Although it is not possible to precise the number of migrant workers in Italian agriculture due to a context of widespread irregularity, official data shows that around 50% of the workforce is composed by foreign nationals (CREA, 2017). These workers often experience high levels of labour exploitation, being poorly paid, working long hours and being exposed to toxic pesticides. Their precarious situation also extends to their living conditions once most migrants live in ghettos with no access to water, electricity and heating. In order to better understand what keeps migrant farm labourers in such precarious conditions, we decided to frame our research question in these terms: What are the main factors that contribute to maintain a system of foreign labour exploitation in the agriculture sector of Southern Italy, especially in the province of Foggia? To be able to answer this question, we decided to use qualitative methods as our primary source of data. During our fieldwork in Foggia, we conducted interviews, visited different locations, got in touch with a variety of actors, developed field notes and observations. However, to cope with the limitations of such a method, we also relied on quantitative methods as our secondary source. This means that we relied on different graphics, statistics, policies and official documents in order to better develop our analysis.

Since 2013, such resilient attitude is at the heart of the National Strategy for Inner Areas (SNAI, Strategia Nazionale per le Aree Interne) aimed at promoting coordinated, multi-scalar projects of self-enhancement; in April 2019, the above innovative form of territorial planning was selected by the European Parliament as a model for the 2021–2027 program- ming period of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).This paper reviews the original Citation: Ivona, A.; Rinella, A.; Rinella, F.; Epifani, F.; Nocco, S.
