Apulia's coastline is longer than that of any other mainland Italian region. In the north, the Gargano promontory extends out into the Adriatic sea like a "sperone" ("spur"), while in the south, the Salento peninsula forms the "tacco" ("heel") of Italy's boot. The highest peak in the region is Monte Cornacchia 1,152 m (3,780 ft) above sea level) wi...
Antiquity
Human settlement in Apulia dates back to at least 250,000 years ago, as evidenced by the fossil remains of the Altamura Man, an archaic form of Neanderthal.

Middle Ages and Renaissance period
At the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, Apulia also went through a long period of suffering. Heruli and Ostrogoths invaded the territory, but in the end it became the dominion of the Eastern Roman Empire, from the 6th to the 11th century. Bari became the capital of a territory extending up to present-day Basilicata and subjected to the authority of a Catepanate. With the advent of the Normans in the 11th century, Taranto became the capital of the Principality of Taranto, which extended acros...
Early modern period
From the middle of the 18th century the region of Apulia experienced a period of strong economic prosperity and excellent development of trade and agriculture.

Liberal movements were formed throughout the region in 1820 with the spread of Freemasonry and Carbonari. With the...

Emigration from the region's depressed areas to northern Italy and the rest of Europe was very intense in the years between 1956 and 1971. Subsequently, the trend declined, as economic conditions improved, to the point where there was net immigration in the years between 1982 and 1985. Since 1986, the stagnation in employment has led to a new inver...

Language
As with the other regions of Italy, the national language (since 1861) is Italian. However, because of its long and varied history, other historical languages have been used in this region for centuries.
