Terlizzi
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Inhabitants of Italy are referred to as Italians. Their official language is Standard Italian, descendant of Tuscan dialect and a direct descendant of Latin. The word Italy is derived from the Homeric Aeolic word which means bull. Italy is subject to highly diverse weather conditions in autumn, winter, and spring. The country has the fifth-highest population density in Europe at 193 persons per square kilometer. Today, despite regional variations in the form of accents and vowel emphasis, Italian is fully comprehensible to most throughout the country.
Terlizzi is a town in Apulia, Italy, in the province of Bari, to the west of the city of Bari, situated in the midst of a fertile plain, 627 feet above sea-level. Its population is 26,785, up from a 1901 population of 23,394. It has a castle which at one time was very strong, and infrequently resorted to by the Emperor Frederick II, and later by the Aragonese sovereigns. The towers and walls of the town remain, but the fosse has been turned into boulevards. Terlizzi has some trade in the fruit and wine of the region. In 1745, a fine inkstand inlaid in silver was found in a nearby, ancient tomb.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, cooperative people and luxurious hotels and cottages, Terlizzi is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
