La città di Cerignola dà il nome al vino rosso DOP che dal 1974 abbraccia anche i territori di Stornara, Stornarella e Ascoli Satriano.
La città ha un nucleo antico chiamato la Terra Vecchia, ma uno dei luoghi più particolari è senza dubbio il Piano delle Fosse Granarie: un’area di circa 26.000 metri quadrati che ospita più di 600 fosse, grossi vasi scavati nel terreno utilizzati fino a pochi anni fa per la conservazione del grano. Visibile anche da grande distanza la Basilica Minore di San Pietro Apostolo conosciuta anche come Duomo Tonti, considerato uno degli edifici più grandi di tutta l’Italia Meridionale.
Fuori città c’è l’area protetta Il Monte che comprende una zona umida dove sostano volatili come l’airone rosso, il falco di palude e la garzetta, mentre a Borgo Libertà, edificato intorno agli anni ’50 per i contadini che lavoravano nei vicini campi, sorge il complesso di Torre Alemanna costruita dall’Ordine dei Cavalieri Teutonici. Recentemente ristrutturata ospita il Museo delle Ceramiche, in cui si possono ammirare i resti di vasellame rinvenuto in zona.
Stornara e Stornarella, insieme a Carapelle, Ordona e Orta Nova, sono due borghi dei Cinque Reali Siti, che Ferdinando IV di Borbone popolò con 500 famiglie coloniche per rendere produttiva la piana una volta paludosa. Stornarella è il punto più alto sul livello del mare e per questo motivo è sempre stata una zona circondata da molte vie di commercio. Stornara è una ex frazione di Stornarella, che ha un piccolo centro storico con architetture eleganti come la chiesa parrocchiale di San Rocco e Palazzo Schiavone. Nelle campagne intorno ai due borghi oggi si coltivano i vigneti per la produzione del vino Rosso di Cerignola DOP ma un tempo da qui passavano le più importanti vie della transumanza.
Ascoli Satriano si distende sulle tre colline di Pompei, Castello e Serpente ed è situata in una posizione strategica sulla valle del fiume Carapelle tanto che fu una roccaforte dell’Impero Romano poi conquistata dall’Impero Bizantino e dagli Angioini. Qui si combatté la famosa battaglia di Ascoli, dove nel 279 a.C. si scontrarono i Romani con l’esercito di Pirro.
Poco distanti dal borgo si snodano i sentieri immersi nella natura incontaminata della Selva di San Nicola e della Selva San Giacomo. In paese molto interessanti il Castello Normanno, il Palazzo Visciola, il Palazzo del Cavaliere, la Cattedrale in stile romanico-gotico e la Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista del XII secolo. Da non perdere il Polo Museale nel complesso di Santa Maria del Popolo che ospita i musei “Pasquale Rosario” e diocesano, con la mostra permanente “Policromie del Sublime” che raccoglie marmi policromi e di cui fa parte il famoso Thapezophoros dei Grifoni.
Fuori paese, sulla Collina del Serpente, si estende il Parco Archeologico dei Dauni, con una necropoli con selciati a spina di pesce e i muri di un grande santuario. Sul fiume Carapelle è ancora percorribile un ponte romano mentre nelle campagne c’è un acquedotto romano sotterraneo. In località Faragola, recenti scavi hanno rilevato i resti di una villa romana con preziosi mosaici.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
