BARI, or Terra di Bari, a territory of Italy, in the kingdom of Naples, of which the above-mentioned city is the capital. It is bounded on the north by the Capitanata, on the north-west by the Ulterior Principato, on the south by the Basilicata, on the south-east by the Terra de Otranto, and on the north-east by the gulf of Venice. It has no considerable river except the Otranto, which separates it from the Capitanata. The air is temperate; and the soil produces plenty of corn, fruit, and fassron; but there are a great many serpents, and spiders called torantulas. See ARANZA. The principal towns are Bari the capital, Frani, Andria, Bavo, Bilonto, Conversano, Monopoli, Polignano, Barletta, and Malfetto. The two first are archiepiscopal, and all the rest episcopal.
