Brindisi
is situated on a natural harbor, that penetrates deeply into the
Adriatic coast of Apulia. Within the arms of the outer harbor islands
are Pedagne, a tiny archipelago, currently not open and in use for
military purposes (United Nations Group Schools used during the
intervention in Bosnia). The entire municipality is part of the
Brindisi Plain, characterized by high agricultural uses of its land. It
is located in the northeastern part of the Salento plains, about 40
kilometres (25 mi) from the Itria Valley, and the low Murge. Not far
from the city is the Natural Marine Reserve of the World Wide Fund for
Nature of Torre Guaceto. The Ionian Sea is about 45 kilometres (28 mi)
away. The territory of Brindisi is
characterized by a wide flat area from which emerge sub deposits of
limestone and sand of marine origin, which in turn have a deeper level
clay of the Pleistocene era, and an even later Mesozoic carbonate
composed of limestone and soils. The development of agriculture, has
caused an increase in the use of water resources resulting in an
increase of indiscriminate use. Font : wikipedia
