A whole town full of beautiful murals

In the heart of the Tavoliere delle Puglie, it preserves a small corner of natural vegetation within a deeply cultivated territory.

Starting in 2018, for a project called Stramurales, nationally and internationally renowned artists have decorated the facades of houses with dozens of murals. They represent scenes of daily life, portraits, animals, landscapes and symbols. Truly special, not to be missed!

The Sanctuary of the Incoronata is a Catholic place of worship dedicated to the Black Madonna, who appeared in the year 1001 to a count and a shepherd in the Cervaro wood. Every year, on the last Saturday of April, the feast of the apparition is celebrated with a ride of angels and the offering of oil for the votive lamp. The sanctuary has a bronze crown hanging from the dome, an organ of 2000 pipes and the title of minor basilica.

It is worth taking a tour through the streets of the town of Stornara because since 2018, as part of a project called Stramurales, dozens of murals have been created by nationally and internationally renowned artists to decorate the facades of houses. They represent scenes of daily life, portraits, animals, landscapes and symbols. Some even have a social or ecological message.

The Bosco Incoronata is an area belonging to the homonymous natural park not far from Foggia, in the Tavoliere delle Puglie.

Catholic shrine in which a black Madonna is venerated. According to tradition, the Madonna appeared in these places to a nobleman and a shepherd in the year 1001.

The sanctuary of the Madonna Incoronata is a Catholic building belonging to the Borgo Incoronata, i.e. a fraction of Foggia, where the effigy of the Blessed Virgin Mary Crowned, a Black Madonna, is venerated. As reported on Wikipedia, the first apparition of the Virgin took place in April 1001, to a count of Ariano and a shepherd in the Cervaro wood. Near the tree where the apparition took place, the shepherd filled a "caldarella" with a "mesata" of oil and made a votive lamp which still today, out of popular devotion, continues to burn inside the sanctuary.
