Grumo Appula

⭐ 7.8

Papier-mâché Easter Mysteries, Festival dei Tammurr and the Lagopetto pine forest

The town descends from a pre-Roman Apulian settlement: Pliny likely mentions its inhabitants, the “Grumbestini.” In the Middle Ages, it fell under the fiefdom of Conversano, then changed hands often: sold to Pietro Busio of Senis in 1410, to the Marquis Castellar in 1631 (56,000 ducats), to the Caracciolo family in 1715. It became a “città regia” in 1800, added “Appula” to its name in 1863, and was granted the title of città in 2005. On the traditions side: the Madonna di Mellitto, with its paper-flower floats pulled by horses, and the “Notte dei fornai” from December 23 to 24.

À PROPOS DE Grumo Appula

Grumo Appula is a small town in the Murge, part of whose territory lies within the Alta Murgia National Park, including the Lagopetto municipal pine forest. The historic center revolves around the Chiesa Madre (13th century, Greek-cross plan), the Palazzo D’Alessandro, in Puglian Baroque style, and the Vittorio Veneto and Aldo Moro squares. On Good Friday, twelve papier-mâché statues parade in the Procession of the Mysteries. In summer, the Festival dei Tammurr, founded in 1969, brings together folk groups from several countries.

The town descends from a pre-Roman Apulian settlement: Pliny likely mentions its inhabitants, the “Grumbestini.” In the Middle Ages, it fell under the fiefdom of Conversano, then changed hands often: sold to Pietro Busio of Senis in 1410, to the Marquis Castellar in 1631 (56,000 ducats), to the Caracciolo family in 1715.
