Cerignola.

Cerignola sits on the Tavoliere delle Puglie, the wide inland plain of northern Puglia long farmed for wheat and olives, with vineyards spread across it as well. Several small mills around the town press and bottle olive oil from the autumn harvest.

The historic centre is a web of narrow streets that open onto wider piazzas, where weekly markets sell bread, cheese and produce from the plain. The rhythm of the town follows the farming calendar, picking up around the grape and olive harvests in autumn.

Outside the centre, the countryside stretches flat and open, with rows of olive trees and vineyards running toward the horizon. Local festivals through the year mark the harvest season, celebrating the crops that shape the area's identity within Puglia's wider food culture.
