Barletta, Italy is a city in Northern Apulia with c. 93,000 inhabitants. It is currently in the province of Bari, but will become the government seat of the new province of Barletta-Andria-Trani when that province is inaugurated in 2008. It is famous for the Colossus of Barletta, a bronze statue, probably representing Roman Emperor Theodosius II. It was the location of La Disfida di Barletta (the challenge of Barletta), a 1503 battle during which 13 Italians commanded by Ettore Fieramosca defeated the French. In the territory of Barletta there is an archaeological site of Canne della Battaglia(in Latin Cannae), where there was the famous battle between Romans and Carthaginians with the general Hannibal. The city has one gold medal for military valour and another one for the civil valour, for its resistance to the Nazi invasion during World War II.
