Foggia is a city in Apulia's northernmost province of Capitanata, also known as the granary of Italy. Due to its tragic history marked by both an earthquake in the 1700's as well as extensive allied bombing during WWII, it has little to offer in terms of the historic attractions one would expect of an Italian city. Nonetheless, Foggia makes for a good base for exploring the nearby attractions of Lucera and Troia or the Gargano Peninsula. Moreover, if you are wondering what to do in Foggia then it is important to know that the whole area of Foggia is rich in historical artifacts that testify human activity in the area since the Neolithic times and has been the nerve center of agricultural and commercial activity since ancient times.
