San Severo, Administrative commune in Province of Foggia, Italy
San Severo extends across a flat plain at 90 meters above sea level, surrounded by agricultural fields and vineyards in the Puglia region.
The settlement evolved from an ancient Greek foundation into a medieval trade center, experiencing significant growth after Benedictine monks built a church in the 11th century.
