Bari

Chef Vincenzo Prosperi has recommended Bari as an authentic Italian city to visit, calling it "a really wonderful city" and "one of the best places to see in the south of Italy." About 5 million Britons travel to Italy each year. Bari, with a population of just over 315,000, is divided into the old town Bari Vecchia and the Murat quarter.

Italian police discovered a secret reptile house containing dangerous exotic animals hidden behind a false wall in a basement in southern Italy. The raid in Bari/Sannicandro di Bari recovered large anacondas, a spectacled caiman, and other reptiles.
