Grumo Appula

Grumo Appula is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Bari located in southern Italy's Apulia region with a population around 12,000. The town sits on elevated terrain and functions as a local administrative center serving surrounding areas.

The settlement was called Grumum during Roman times and served as a local center in the region. It later developed into an administrative hub and was part of Bari Province before becoming integrated into the Metropolitan City.

Local celebrations honoring the patron saints draw residents together through festive gatherings that reflect community traditions. These events shape how people connect with one another and their shared heritage.

The town is easily accessible by car through local roads, with parking available in the center. Administrative offices are located near the main square and provide all necessary services for residents and visitors.

An Olympic champion in racewalking, Massimo Stano, originates from this small southern Italian commune. His achievement at the highest competitive level shows that elite athletes can emerge from less prominent towns.
