Volturara Appula, Mountain commune in Foggia Province, Italy
Situated at 510 meters above sea level, Volturara Appula extends across the southeastern region of Italy in the province of Foggia.
The settlement gained recognition in 969 AD when Pope Giovanni XIII documented it as a bishopric under the jurisdiction of Benevento.
The 13th-century Apulian Romanesque cathedral features a bell tower containing three bronze bells with significant silver content.
The population of Volturara Appula has decreased to fewer than 400 residents, making it one of the smaller communities in the Apulia region.
Former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who led the country from 2018 to 2021, traces his birth to this mountain commune.
