Carpino is a small agricultural town situated in the northern Gargano area on a hill between the Varano Lake and the Umbrian Forest. Its name appeared for the first time in a Papal Bull as “CASTELLUM CAPRALIS”, perhaps due to the presence of row deer in its surroundings. The Normans built a castle here, of which just a few ruins remain today, and the town was built around it later. Very much appreciated by tourists, the place is renowned for its most exquisite olive oil, which is produced in a valley covered with century-old olive groves.
