Historically, the Murge have been the seat of transhumance practice in animal husbandry, since at least the first millennium BC,[3] with cattle being moved to Abruzzo in summer, and southwards during winter.
Until the 19th century, agriculture was characterized by large latifundia, owned by a few landowners, and the relative lack of water, forming part of a region sometimes called "the feudal South".[4] Present-day economic activities include marble quarries, and the production of olives, wine, almonds, cherries, and mulberries. The animals grazed include sheep, goats, domestic pigs, and cattle.
