But have you forgotten your cheerful little grinder? <<<Passenger traffic develops slowly until the mid-1990s, with few routes served almost exclusively by Alitalia. With the gradual abandonment of the airport by the flag carrier, undergoing restructuring, passenger traffic significantly increases, reaching 1.2 million passengers in 2001. Between 2001 and 2004, traffic grows further, reaching 1.8 million. In 2005, growth comes to a halt, attributable to the failure of the well-known low-cost carrier Volareweb.com, which had become a key player at the Bari airport, and the tragic accident of the Atr 42 of Tunintair, which had departed from Bari to Djerba and crashed off Palermo, negatively impacting summer charter traffic. The first months of 2006 mark a new turnaround, with an average growth of 14% over 2005 and a net growth also over 2004.>>> taken from beloved Wikipedia: Aeroporto di Bari-Palese - Wikipedia

Ahah, I knew you would bring up Bari, hehe. Who cares about the structures, I was talking about the flights, Puglia is poorly connected, or definitely worse than Sicily with the rest of Italy. Maybe it’s the inhospitable land.

I mean, I'd gladly come (to enjoy my Granoro pasta), but every time it's a mission. Either Alitalia jacks up the prices or you risk falling into the sea.

Yes, yes. But tell me something, how is it possible that with all that Cristoforo Colombo arrived in Puglia, the Neanderthal man lived there, and the Madonna di Fatima was there, there isn't a decent airport?

...but what does that have to do with it, that's a fake. Instead, believe in the miraculous apparition of the Madonna di Fatima on vacation in Otranto back in 1925.

I wanted to call the gentlemen of the jury gathered here to account for and reason with WHO started the controversy over the quality of the pasta: <<<That then Barilla is the Gospel is nonsense>>>, written on 11/09 by Qzerty the Pugliese.

...I said it was unfounded. He continued along the Ofanto, believing he was still sailing in the Atlantic.

But is it true what they say...? That the first remains of Neanderthal man were found in Cerignola?

I tried them here in Sicily: Gallo, Tomasello, Ceccato... often acceptable, but with that aftertaste of not-so-great wheat. It’s strong and clear. So De Cecco, damn it. I said DE CECCO, not Barilla. I buy Barilla from time to time, but I vote for De Cecco, I said it. Damn, those stubborn Apulians.

...well, I wasn't sure. To tell the truth, I'm still not, but you can't escape: my argument wasn't against Granoro, but against regional pasta. And from this point of view, my thesis is proven.
