History of Ruvo di Puglia
History of the municipality of Ruvo di Puglia, Italy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The history of Ruvo di Puglia begins with the founding of the first villages in 2000 B.C. and reaches the present day. The history of this town in the land of Bari is lost in the mists of time:[1] little or nothing was known of its origins and history until the 19th century when prestigious vases[2] and numerous coins from ancient times emerged from the soil of the Ruvo countryside, giving the people of Ruvo a space, time and place in history. Ruvo has existed under the rule of a number of external powers, from the Greeks to the Normans and the Bourbons.
