Storia comune di Lucera provincia di Foggia
Maybe the place name comes from the Etrurian “luc-eri” meaning “holy wood” because of a holy wood existing in the territory in the past; maybe it comes from the Latin “lux” meaning “light”; maybe it comes from the Greek “leuka eria” meaning “white wool” because of the renowned good wool quality in that area. Surely Lucera has ancient origins: Romans, Normans, Swabians, Anjous followed one another giving the town such a development to made it Chief city of Capitanata and Molise from 1579 to 1806. Nowadays is an important cultural and business centre of Foggia province.

The “cacc’ e mmitte” wine is the typical AOC production of Lucera.
