Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with theBasilica of Saint Nicholas,theCathedral of San Sabino(1035–1171) and theNorman-Swabian Castle,which is now also a major nightlife district. To the south is the Murat quarter (erected byJoachim Murat), the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular grid-plan with apromenadeon the sea and the major shopping district (thevia Sparanoandvia Argiro).
Modern residential zones surrounding the centre of Bari were built during the 1960s and 1970s replacing the old suburbs that had developed along roads splaying outwards from gates in the city walls. In addition, the outer suburbs developed rapidly during the 1990s.[4]
History
editAncient
editBari itself known in antiquity asBarium,was a harbour of theIapygianPeuceti.[5][6]The authors of theEtymologicum Magnumhave preserved an etymology by authors of antiquity aboutBarium,which they explain as the word "house" inMessapic.[7]The city had strong Greek influences before the Roman era.[8]Inancient Greek,it was known asΒάριον.In the 3rd century BC, it became part of theRoman Republicand was subsequently Romanized. The city developed strategic significance as the point of junction between the coast road and theVia Traianaand as a port for eastward trade; a branch road toTarentumled from Barium. Its harbour, mentioned as early as 181 BC, was probably the principal one of the districts in ancient times, as it is at present, and was the centre of a fishery.[9]The first historical bishop ofBariwasGervasiuswho was noted at theCouncil of Sardicain 347.[10]
Middle Ages
editWith thefall of the Western Roman Empirein 476, it was invaded byBarbariansand occupied by theOstrogoths.It was taken from them by theByzantine Empireduring theGothic warsand disputed for the following two centuries with theLombardsof theDuchy of Benevento,who made it a steward.[11]
Throughout this period, and indeed throughout the Middle Ages, Bari served as one of the majorslavedepots of the Mediterranean, providing a central location for the trade inSlavicslaves.[12]The slaves were mostly captured byVenicefromDalmatia,by theHoly Roman Empirefrom what is nowEastern GermanyandPoland,and by the Byzantines from elsewhere in the Balkans, and were generally destined for other parts of the Byzantine Empire and (most frequently) the Muslim states surrounding the Mediterranean: theAbbasid Caliphate,theUmayyadCaliphate of Córdoba,theEmirate of Sicily,and theFatimid Caliphate(which relied on Slavs purchased at the Bari market for its legions of SakalabaMamluks).[13]
For 20 years, Bari was the centre of theEmirate of Bari;the city was captured by its first emirsKalfunin 847, who had been part of the mercenary garrison installed there byRadelchis I of Benevento.[14]The city was conquered and the emirate extinguished in 871 followingfive-year campaignbyFrankish Emperor Louis II,assisted by aByzantinefleet.[15]Chris Wickham states Louis spent five years campaigning to reduce then occupy Bari, "and then only to a Byzantine/Slav naval blockade"; "Louis took the credit" for the success, adding "at least in Frankish eyes", then concludes by noting that by remaining in southern Italy long after this success, he "achieved the near-impossible: an alliance against him of the Beneventans, Salernitans, Neapolitans and Spoletans; later sources includeSawadānas well. "[14]In 885, Bari became the residence of the local Byzantinecatapan,or governor. The failed revolt (1009–1011) of the Lombard noblesMelus of Bariand hisbrother-in-lawDattus, against the Byzantine governorate, though it was firmly repressed at theBattle of Cannae (1018),offered theirNormanadventurer allies a first foothold in the region.[citation needed]In 1025, under theArchbishop Byzantius,Bari became attached to thesee of Romeand was granted "provincial"status.[16]
In 1071, Bari was captured byRobert Guiscard,following athree-year siege,ending what remained of the Byzantine power in the region.[17]
In 1095,Peter the HermitpreachedtheFirst Crusadethere.[9]In October 1098,Urban II,who had consecrated the Basilica in 1089, convened theCouncil of Bari,one of a series ofsynodsconvoked with the intention of reconciling theEasternandWestern Churchon the question of thefilioqueclause in the Creed, whichAnselmably defended, seated at thepope's side.[18]
Early modern period
edit
A long period of decline characterized the city under the dominations ofAldoino Filangieri di Candida,and those of theKings of Naples,which held the control of the entire mainland Southern Italy from 1282 to 1806. This decline was interrupted, however, by the splendor under theSforzas,who ruled the city asDukes of Bari,a title given by the Neapolitan crown, in particular under the rule of the dukesLudovicoandBeatrice d'Este,then of the duchessesIsabella of AragonandBona Sforza.Bari also underwent Venetian domination, which led to the expansion of the port and a very prosperous period, also favored by the trade of inland products, which were in great demand on foreign markets.[19][20]
In 1556, Princess Bona Sforza of Aragon, second wife of theKing of Poland Sigismund I,left Poland and settled in Bari, whose principality she had inherited from her parents. During her reign, she fortified the city's castle, as evidenced by an inscription in bronze letters on the cornice around the courtyard, as well as building several churches, a monastery, two water cisterns and made many donations to the monks of the Basilica of San Nicola. Bona Sforza died in the city in 1557.[20]Following her death, the city of Bari came under the direct rule of the kings of Naples.[21]
In 1813,Joachim Murat,King of Naplesin theNapoleonic era,began a new urbanization, changing the face of the city and setting a new "chessboard" growth model, which continued for many years to come. The village built at the time on the outskirts of the old city still retains its name.[22]
Modern plumbing arrived in the city of Bari on 24 April 1915: it was the first completed leg of the nascent Apulian Aqueduct. During the 1930s,Araldo di Crollalanza,the mayor and minister of Bari, oversaw the development of its modern waterfront.[23]
World War II
editOn 11 September 1943, in connection with theArmistice of Cassibile,Bari was taken without resistance by theBritish 1st Airborne Division[citation needed],then during October and November 1943, New Zealand troops from the 2nd New Zealand Division assembled in Bari.[24]
TheBalkan Air Forcesupporting theYugoslav partisanswas based at Bari.[citation needed]
The 1943 chemical warfare disaster
editThrough a tragic coincidence intended by neither of the opposing sides inWorld War II,Bari gained the unwelcome distinction of being the only European city in the course of that war to experience effects like those ofchemical warfare.[citation needed]
On the night of 2 December 1943, 105 GermanJunkers Ju 88bombers attacked the port of Bari, which was a key supply centre forAlliedforces fighting their way up theItalian Peninsula.Over 20 Allied ships were sunk in the overcrowded harbour, including the U.S.Liberty shipJohn Harvey,which was carryingmustard gas;mustard gas was also reported to have been stacked on the quayside awaiting transport (the chemical agent was intended for retaliation if German forces had initiated chemical warfare). The presence of the gas was highly classified and the U.S. had not informed the British military authorities in the city of its existence.[citation needed]This increased the number of fatalities, since British physicians—who had no idea that they were dealing with the effects of mustard gas—prescribed treatment proper for those suffering from exposure and immersion, which proved fatal in many cases. Because rescuers were unaware they were dealing with gas casualties, many additional casualties were caused among the rescuers, through contact with the contaminated skin and clothing of those more directly exposed to the gas.[25][citation needed]
A member of U.S. GeneralDwight D. Eisenhower's medical staff, Stewart F. Alexander, was dispatched to Bari following the raid. Alexander had trained at the Army'sEdgewood Arsenalin Maryland,[26][citation needed]and was familiar with some of the effects of mustard gas. Although he was not informed of the cargo carried by theJohn Harvey,and most victims suffered atypical symptoms caused by exposure to mustard diluted in water and oil (as opposed to airborne), Alexander rapidly concluded that mustard gas was present. Although he could not get any acknowledgement of this from the chain of command, Alexander convinced medical staffs to treat patients for mustard exposure and saved many lives as a result. He also preserved many tissue samples from autopsied victims at Bari. After World War II, these samples would result in the development of an early form ofchemotherapybased on mustard,Mustine.[27]
On the orders of Allied leadersFranklin D. Roosevelt,Winston Churchill,and Eisenhower, records were destroyed and the whole affair was kept secret for many years after the war. The U.S. records of the attack were declassified in 1959, but the episode remained obscure until 1967, when writer Glenn B. Infield exposed the story in his bookDisaster at Bari.[27]Additionally, there is considerable dispute as to the exact number of fatalities. In one account: "[S]ixty-nine deaths were attributed in whole or in part to the mustard gas, most of them American merchant seamen".[28]Others put the count as high as "more than one thousand Allied servicemen and more than one thousand Italian civilians".[29]
The affair is the subject of two books: the aforementionedDisaster at Bari,by Glenn B. Infield, andNightmare in Bari: The World War II Liberty Ship Poison Gas Disaster and Coverup,by Gerald Reminick.
In 1988, through the efforts ofNick T. Spark,U.S. SenatorsDennis DeConciniandBill Bradley,Stewart Alexander received recognition from theSurgeon General of the United States Armyfor his actions during the Bari disaster.[30]
Charles Hendersonexplosion
editThe port of Bari was again struck by disaster on 9 April 1945 when the Liberty shipCharles Hendersonexploded in the harbour while offloading 2,000 tons of aerial bombs (half of that amount had been offloaded when the explosion occurred). Three hundred and sixty people were killed and 1,730 were wounded. The harbour was again rendered non-operational, this time for a month.

Migration
editAccording to an urban migration study in Bari, return migration gain to urban areas is higher than migration loss from urban areas. People migrating from urban destinations tend to migrate to different places in comparison to people migrating from rural areas. These findings are based on the background and behavior of a sample of 211 return migrants to Bari, Italy. Bari is a port city, making it historically important because of its strong trade links with Greece, North Africa, and the eastern Mediterranean. Bari's economic structure is based on industry, commerce, services, and administration. Around two-thirds of the city's employment is in the tertiary sector with its port, commerce, and administrative functions. The highest percentage of Bari's working population is employed in services, with 45.6%. From 1958 to 1982, around 20% of migrants left Bari for other Italian communes, while around 17% or migrants came to Bari from other Italian communes. Under 2% of migrants left Bari to go abroad and came to the city from abroad.[39]

Meat dishes and the local Bareseragùoften include lamb and pork.[citation needed] Pasta al forno,a baked pasta dish, is very popular in Bari and was historically a Sunday dish, or a dish used at the start ofLentwhen all the rich ingredients such as eggs and pork had to be used for religious reasons. The recipe commonly consists ofpenneor similar tubular pasta shapes, a tomato sauce, small beef and pork meatballs and halved hard-boiled eggs. The pasta is then topped withmozzarellaor similar cheese and then baked in the oven to make the dish have its trademark crispy texture.[citation needed]
Another popular pasta dish is thespaghetti all'assassina.It is a slightly crunchy spaghetti dish, cooked in an iron pan with garlic, olive oil, chili pepper, tomato sauce and tomato broth.[40]
Fresh fish and seafood are often eaten raw. Octopus, sea urchins and mussels feature heavily. Perhaps Bari's most famous dish is the oven-bakedpatate, riso e cozze(potatoes with rice and mussels).
