Some words about Molfetta

The cooperative CLAD is located in the municipality of Terlizzi, a medium size town in the centre of Apulia Region. Terlizzi has around 28.000 inhabitants and its economy is historically linked to agriculture, in fact it is known as the "city of flowers" because of its important crops of flowers and greenhouses.

Founded around the sixth century AD, the town derives its name from Terlicium, "place placed among the oaks", which are developed very much in the area. In addition to flowers, Terlizzi's economy is particularly related to textile companies, companies processing agricultural products and crafts, and in particular the production of ceramics and pottery.

The climate is generally quite and poor of rain, although the temperature changes are fast and short, due to the wind from the Balkan area. In spite of the fact that our area has good road, railways, air and maritime facilities, and that it has strategic links with the East-Mediterranean and Balkan countries, it is quite distant from the so-called heart of Europe.

Apart for the headquarters of Terlizzi the CLAD generally takes part to many other projects and social activities with organizations in other towns around the Province of Bari, for example in Ruvo and Molfetta (7 km far away)

During the national/local holidays important roles play in the city traditions and religious happening such as Easter processions and rituals, the flowers trade fair, the event of the chariot of the Virgin Mary.
