"Cenno storico sull'antichissima città di Ruvo nella Peucezia" by Giovanni Jatta is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the history of the ancient city of Ruvo, exploring its origins and significance within the context of ancient Italy and focusing on its connections to Greek colonization. Jatta presents a heartfelt reflection on his love for Ruvo and aims to illuminate its historical importance, which he feels
has been overlooked by previous scholars. The opening of the work presents an introspective preface by the author, dedicating the text to his nephew with hopes of inspiring him to cherish and uphold the legacy of their homeland. Jatta expresses his dismay at the scant historical references available regarding Ruvo, noting that it is often absent from ancient writings. He critiques various geographical scholars who failed to mention the city, suggesting it was one of the ancient Greek settlements in Italy, likely founded by the Arcadians. Jatta highlights the scarcity of historical accounts and the importance of his endeavor to compile the available knowledge about Ruvo, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of its history, significant artifacts, and its role in ancient civilization.
