Capurso

Capurso is a small town near Bari with roughly 15,700 residents spread across flat agricultural land. The landscape is shaped mainly by olive groves and vineyards that farmers work to produce local oils and wines.

Archaeological finds suggest that ancient Messapian peoples once settled here, shaping early life in the region. The area remained a farming center throughout history and contributed to the agricultural character of Apulia.

The Madonna del Pozzo church shapes the community's religious calendar with processions and celebrations that unfold in traditional ways passed down through generations. Visitors can sense how deeply this place matters to locals and their daily spiritual life.

The town sits just a few kilometers southeast of Bari and is easy to reach by car or bus from the city center. The flat terrain makes walking around comfortable and straightforward for visitors of any level.

Since 1994, this place has maintained a partnership with Schiller Park in the United States, leading to exchange programs between the residents. This connection links people from two very different countries through shared projects and mutual understanding.
