Storia comune di Peschici provincia di Foggia

The place name comes from the Slavic language: the root “pes” refers to the sandy soil. The town was thus founded by Slav people arriving here to fight Saracens’ invasions in the 11th century. During the Norman age it became a fief for many families and during the Swabian age it suffered the quarrel between empire and papacy. It was then under Anjous and Aragoneses, always threatened with Saracens, and then it followed the Kingdom of Naples’ history until the unification of Italy. Nowadays Peschici is a blooming tourism centre.
