History

It was a small fortified centre of the Romans, who called it Natolium, maybe built on the ruins of the Peucete Netium destroyed during the Punic Wars. It became later a flourishing commercial centre, that had trading connections with Venice.

Main sights

  • The cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta (12th-13th century), in characteristic Apulian Romanesque style, featuring Eastern and Western elements.
  • Ducal Palace/Castle (17th century)
  • Two columns of the Via Traiana, which however did not pass through the city.

    • In the neighbourhood is Castel del Monte, one of the most famous castles in Italy.

    Notable people

  • American actor John Turturro's father, Nicholas Turturro, immigrated to the United States from Giovinazzo in the first half of the 20th century.
  • Raffaele Sollecito, falsely accused and incarcerated for the homicide of Meredith Kercher.
