Foggia ~ 16th Century

     Foggia is believed to have been founded by the inhabitants of Arpi, a town which declined in the third century BC. Foggia may have been named for pits or cellars used to store grain. It was a favorite of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. In the thirteenth century it passed to Charles I of Anjou. The plan presented by the stamp is based on a sixteenth century map in the state archives of Foggia.
