Why does the story of Saint Nicholas fit Bari's geography?

The 1087 transfer of relics depended on sailors and linked Bari to places across the sea.

What is the best way to read the inland landscape around Bari?

Puglia's agricultural plain, including characteristic olive groves, begins behind the urban coast.
