Foggia is a city of Puglia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puglia), Italy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy), capital of the province of Foggia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Foggia). Foggia is the main city of a plain called Capitanata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitanata), also known as the "granary of Italy".
The name Foggia derives from Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) "fovea", meaning "pit". Although the area had been settled since Neolithic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic) times, and a Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Greece) colony known as Argos Hippium existed nearby, the first document attesting the existence of the modern city dates from 1000 AD: according to the legend, the first settlers were peasants who had found a panel potraying the Madonna, on which three flames burnt. The area was marshy and unhealty, being partially dried under Robert Guiscard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guiscard), who therefore boosted the economic and social growth of the city. King William II of Sicily (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_II_of_Sicily) built here a cathedral and further enlarged the settlement.
Frederick II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_II%2C_Holy_Roman_Empire) had a palace built in Foggia in 1223 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1223), in which he often sojourned. It was also seat of his court and of a studium including figures such as Michael Scot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Scot), but little of it remains now.
