Piano delle Fosse Granarie of Cerignola

Highlight • Historical Site

Almost in the center of the city, in the area called Piano San Rocco, the Piano delle Fosse di Cerignola is now the only surviving evidence of a centuries-old method of storing grain. Deposits dug into a tuffaceous terrain, bell-shaped, 4 to 7 meters high, closed by wooden boards covered with earth in the shape of a pyramid to facilitate the flow of rainwater.

Pietro Mascagni House

Highlight • Historical Site

Even in Cerignola, music was made! In Via Pietro Mascagni n. 21, stands the House of Pietro Mascagni; it hosted the very famous composer from 1887 to 1892.

During his stay in the city, he composed the Cavalleria Rusticana and directed the local musical band. The Cavalleria Rusticana was staged at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome in 05/1890 and had an unprecedented success!

Clock Tower

Highlight • Monument

Once you leave Terra Vecchia, the Clock Tower prostrates itself majestically! The tower was built by the Duke of Egmont in 1804, replacing the dilapidated one incorporated into the La Rochefoucauld Palace. Originally, the Tower was taller but lightning in 1866 damaged the structure. It marks the southern entrance to the village, on Largo Costantino Imperatore.

Leaving the Fosse Granarie behind us, we reach the Church of the Assunzione della BV. Mary! It is one of the churches built outside the walls of the Terra Vecchia.

We recall the description of the Church by the Bishop of the Diocese of Ascoli Satriano-Cerignola, Msgr. Angelo Struffolini, who told of a rectangular-shaped religious building, among the streets: dell'Assunta, via Melfi, and the street that led to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Ripalta!
The church has a neo-Renaissance facade; the complex fits into the urban fabric, neglecting any ornamental decoration.
Inside, there are works by the Decurtis brothers (1800).

Capacciotti Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Capacciotti Dam, built in the 1950s in the Tavoliere delle Puglie, regulates the Ofanto river and irrigates the surroundings, creating Lake Capacciotti. This artificial basin is a crucial ecological corridor between the Adriatic coast and the Apennines, hosting a variety of species, particularly migratory birds.

Stadio Domenico Monterisi

Highlight • Rest Area

Well yes! Cerignola also has its own team; the Domenico Monterisi Stadium, or Campo Littorio, is the stadium of the Audace Cerignola.

The stadium has a capacity of 7,500 seats and meets all the characteristics to be considered a UEFA 3 stadium. It is named after the yellow-blue footballer Domenico Monterisi, born in Cerignola in 12/1920. In 1940, the young man went to war and wore the military uniform for the first time in a barracks in Umbria. He played for the Perugia team and then left for the Greek-Albanian front in 01/1941. After just a month, he was shot to death to save the life of a fellow soldier. For his sacrifice, he was decorated with the Cross of Military Valor.
