Article

Orta Nova is a town and comune about 25.4 kilometres (15.8 mi) from Foggia, in the region of Apulia, in southern Italy. It stretches to the southern part of the Tavoliere (Foggia's plain) on the right bank of the river Carapelle.

The origins of the name "Orta" are rather uncertain, as it the word may indicate: "crooked born", from the Latin ortus, or "garden" from the Latin word hortus, or also simply "East".
