Celenza Valfortore is a town and comune in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.

Demographics

The population has been constantly descending in the last years. Youth moves to bigger cities in order to achieve a prosperous future.

Lack of industries and work opportunities are the main factors of the emigration.

A massive exodus of emigration occurred during and after the Second World War. Many "Celenzanni" moved to overseas countries such as Argentina, USA and Australia.

Economy

Agriculture used to employ the major part of the labour force. Cattle and farming were the main activities, although in the last years this has been changing, with the tertiary sector employing 41 % of the working force.

Climate

Winters are cold, influenced by the Apennines, with occasional snowfalls taking place between the months of November and March.

Summers are extremely dry and hot. Almost no rainfall occurs between June and August.

Main Sights

"Chiesa di Santa Croce"

"Porta Nova"

"Castello dei Gambacorta"
