Volturino (Pugliese: Vuterìne) is a village and comune in the province of Foggia, in the Apulia region of southern Italy.
Neapolitan is a Romance language of the Italo-Dalmatian group spoken across much of southern Italy, except for southern Calabria, southern Apulia, and Sicily, as well as in a small part of central Italy. It is not named specifically after the city of Naples, but rather the homonymous Kingdom that once covered most of the area, and of which the city was the capital. On October 14, 2008, a law by the Region of Campania stated that Neapolitan was to be protected. While the term "Neapolitan language" is used in this article to refer to the language group of related dialects found in southern continental Italy, it may also refer more specifically to the dialect of the Neapolitan language spoken in the Naples area or in Campania.
The comune is a basic administrative division in Italy, roughly equivalent to a township or municipality.
The Province of Foggia is a province in the Apulia (Puglia) region of southern Italy.
It is approximately 51.4 kilometres (31.9 mi) from Foggia. The village is bordered by Alberona, Lucera, Motta Montecorvino, Pietramontecorvino, Volturara Appula.
