Andria (än'drēä) is a city and comune in the province of Bari, Apulia (southern Italy). It is an agricultural and service center, handling wine, olives, and almonds. It is the fourth-largest commune in the Apulia region (behind Bari, Taranto, and Foggia), and currently the second-largest in the Province of Bari. However, that status will soon change, as it is the largest commune in the planned break-away Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani that will be effective in the year 2009.
