Adelfia
Adelfia is a town and comune in the province of BariPugliaItaly. The town is a combination of two smaller towns, being Montrone and Canneto.The urban center is constituted by two villages (Canneto and Montrone) that were separated for a long time. Canneto was founded by the Normans of Robert Guiscard between 1080 and 1090, on the place of an ancient center (probably to be identified with Celiae), documented from ceramics and more recent graves from the 4th century AD. Montrone was founded in 980 by Greek refugees. Both have been subdued to varied feudal lords until 1806, when feudalism was abolished in the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. The two center were untied in 1927 under the artificial name of Adelfia, from the Greek term adelphòs, meaning brotherhood.
