This is the website of the tourist office
in Bovino, courtesy of Michele Grande and Marianna Cutillo.
The slogan reads: "Bovino, the town of 800 stone portals". |

Nardino has re-invented himself with this new-look site. Well worth a visit. |

A well presented website
about Bovino. As is often the case, it's all Italian. However. Bovinoline.it distinguishes itself from the crowd by linking back to this site - a very wise move in the Bovino website industry. If you do speak Italian, check out the active forum, especially the rather complimentary comments about this site. |

This blog comes courtesy of Pasquale Garofalo on the left here. It is not a strictly a Bovino website, but there is enough Bovino content for it to qualify for a link here. His slogan reads: "thoughts, opinions and images entrusted to the web". |
| "Bovinesi not to be forgotten".
A collection of historical photos of significant historical figures from
Bovino. Marcuccio lets the photos speak for themselves, so even if you don't speak Italian, you don't miss out on much. In case you were wondering, the name "m'arrcord" means "I remember" in dialect. |
| "Bovinese irony without brakes". The
man behind this blog cares passionately about Bovino. I don't always
agree with what he says, but I can't argue with his intentions. D.O.C. stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllato. You will often find this abbreviation on wine or other goods, and shows that it has come from controlled origins. I wish I had thought of using that name! |
| It looks like the official site of the comune is back with a vengeance. Let's hope the "SITO IN ALLESTIMENTO" (site under construction) banner disappears one day, and some of these links become active. |
| This is an MSN group run by Betty pictured here on the left. Her connection to Bovino is that she IS a Bovino, that is to say her family name is Bovino. If you are a Bovino why not drop by and say hello? |
| Orchids of Bovino! Well I never knew that orchid farming was an industry in Bovino until now. As well as show casing their orchids, these people have also given us a few pages about Bovino itself. The photos of Bovino are supplied by G. Nunno and G Santoro, and are notably better than the average. |
| This is local-boy-done-good Francesco Colangelo's blog. Francesco is a film director, and has had great success with his independent short films. |

This is the website of a folk band
which originates in Bovino. I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of hearing them play, but maybe with a this link to their site I might get VIP tickets to their next concert. |
|
|
Another band from Bovino. Again, I'm waiting for my VIP tickets. |
| I've put this link in precisely because it goes nowhere. This is such a great shame. We should be buying professional photos from this site, not looking at an "under construction" notice. If you ever go to Bovino, go to the shop, and thumb through their archive of photos. Some of them are visually stunning as well as being of great historical importance. |

MUSEUMS OF THE WORLD |
This is the website of the museum
found in the Villa Communale, adjoining the church of San Antonio. Unfortunately, most of the site is in Italian only, but the site is none the less well worth a visit, as of course is the museum itself. |
|
|
"The most beautiful
villages in Italy" is a club set up by the Italian Tourism Council to
promote the many small towns and villages in Italy often unknown to the
world at large.
A lot of the site has been translated into reasonable English, and by the look of it, Japanese is coming soon. |
| This is one of the
oldest Bovino websites. Unfortunately, like Bovino itself, it accessible
only to insiders, and seems to have been left abandoned. Don't let the Russian domain name fool you, this really is about Bovino in Italy. |
| This is the personal homepage of a gentleman with origins in Bovino. |
| Just one page, in Italian, about the castle. A few nice pictures. |
| This is the website of
one of the butchers in Bovino. His shop can be found at the top end of
Via Castello (walk straight up the Corso, turn left before the arch, and
he's next door but one to Romeo's hardware shop). Despite the Union flag, on the website, there is no English version. This is a great pity, since there is an excellent description of the various cured meats typical of Bovino and the surrounding area. Click on the Italian flag, and the Prodotti to see the product range. If you want to taste it, go to Bovino. |
| This site is about La Sacrestia, the restaurant just on the right hand side as you pass through the arch heading into the historical town center. |
| No explanations, just a number of interesting photos of Bovino taken by Mario Taddei in August 2001. Mario's grandmother Dina lives in Bovino. |
| This is a page from americancatholic.org I have to admit I had never heard of this particular bishop of Bovino until this link was brought to my attention. - Unfortunately, it looks as though St Anthony has forsaken their search engine, as typing in Bovino does not produce any relevant articles, not even this one on their own site. |
|
|
This is not directly a Bovino link, just an on-line dictionary which includes Italian. However as dictionaries go it is a good one and it comes highly recommended. Note the active forum where you can discuss the nuances of translation. |
