In ancient times northern Puglia was Daunia, Hellenized much later than the southern parts, Messapia and Peucetia. There should be some mention of these toponyms at least. --Wetman 09:22, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, according to Allen Mandelbaum in the notes to his translation of Dante's Inferno, Apulia, in the Middle Ages—designated, not only the present-day region, but the whole of southern Italy. Paul August ☎ 16:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nobody, at least nobody who goes to Italy, ever calls the place 'Apulia'

It is called Puglia. Why is this article named after an archaic anglicism? A search for Leghorn rightly redirects to Livorno, and the same principle of common usage should be applied to Apulia/Puglia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.67.47.90 (talk) 19:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Apulia is simply the English name for Puglia, in the same way as Lombardy, Tuscany, Piedmont, Sardinia or Sicily. It is not an archaic anglicism. However, one may argue that neither under this toponym is the region well known abroad.Luca 16:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
