Origins of the name:Β
from the Latin Capurtius or Caprutius or from a family name ‘Capursus’ or ‘Capudursus’ or ‘caput ursi’ (Bear Head).
Hints of History:
There are various interpretations regarding the origin of the toponym Capurso , some of which are quite imaginative. According to one school of thought, the name of the city derives from Orso, son of Ajone, prince of Bari and Benevento, in the year 888 AD. Another theory, supported by Roppo, traces the origin of the name to Urso or Ursone, a name very frequent in the Middle Ages. The poet Torricella associated the name with the polar bear, but the most evocative of the interpretations is the one linked to the legend of the bear which receives great popular acclaim. According to this legend, the name of the city derives from the head of a bear (caput ursi), killed by the first inhabitants of the place, placed on a cart and pulled by oxen. The town would have arisen at the point where the chariot stopped its journey.

The Madonna del Pozzo:
The cult:
The devotion towards the Madonna del Pozzo is one of the most important in Apulia and in Italy. The cult of Santa Maria del Pozzo originates in 1705, when the Capurse priest Don Domenico Tanzella suffered from a serious illness, following a vision of the Holy Virgin who invited him to drink water from the well which is still found today in the Piscino district. , he recovered miraculously. On 30 August 1705, to realize the miracle he had benefited from by drinking the water from the Pool, the priest went to the well and, going down ladders inside, found a Byzantine icon on the wall facing midday. which portrayed a half-length Madonna with the blessing baby Jesus in her arms. Don Domenico temporarily placed the icon of Santa Maria in his soon-to-be-built chapel dedicated to S. Lorenzo. The miracles in that August of 1705 were prodigious and immediate and multitudes of pilgrims began to arrive in ever greater numbers in the small and then unknown village of Capurso from all over the Kingdom of Naples . From these facts the cult of the Madonna del Pozzo originated .
The solemn celebrations in honor of the Madonna del Pozzo:
The patronal feast of Santa Maria del Pozzo brings a myriad of pilgrims to Capurso on the last Sunday of August. The rites and events on holiday days are truly evocative: on Friday which precedes the big party, the procession of the “Quadro” which from the Cappella del Pozzo goes to the throne set up in the central Piazza Umberto I; on Saturday, the historical procession which ends with the imposition of golden crowns on the Virgin and Baby Jesus; on Sunday, the morning procession of votive candles with the wooden image of the Madonna del Pozzo which lasts over nine hours and, in the evening, the folkloristic procession of the Triumphal Chariot, pulled by arms by pilgrims coming from the city of Bisceglie; on Monday, the procession with the return of the “Picture” from Piazza Umberto I to the Basilica-Sanctuary. On the first Sunday of September, “The octave of the feast” is celebrated in honor of the Madonna del Pozzo, the solemn celebrations end with this last celebration.
