Bari and Matera
The city of the Conference, Bari, has been founded by the mythical heroes of the Hellenic world. Influences from the Romans to the Arabs and the Byzantines, under whose rule Bari lived its acume in wealth and cultural prestige, were subsequently followed by the Norman invasion. Afterwards the town was conquered by the Angevin rulers, Aragonese, Sforza and Bourbons down to Napoleon's time when Gioacchino Murat decreed that the town should become the provincial capital in 1813. The main monuments of the old town centre are the basilica of San Nicola, the Cathedral of San Sabino and the Norman-Swabian Castle. A historical and cultural post conference excursion to Matera will be organised for the participants and their accompanying persons on March 30th. The route's stop over will be the city of Matera, one of Southern Italy's most charming locality and one of the most ancient towns in the world, famous for its Sassi or caves from the Paleolithic age (dating back to 1500 B.C.). Built on a rocky plateau and sliced in two by the Gravina ravine, Matera's cave dwellings were inhabited by man as early as the Palaeolithic era. To link the dwellings in the Sassi, there is a complex network of narrow streets and flights of steps climbing up to the fronts of houses. Matera is one of the most fascinating historic centres in Italy which was formally recognized in 1993 as a UNESCO world heritage site.
Climate
The pleasant climate of Bari provides sunshine more than 3,000 h/yr. In May, the days are warm (average high above 22° C or 72° F) while nights are slightly cooler.
