Orta Nova is a town and comune about 25.4 km from Foggia, in the region of Puglia, southern Italy. It stretches to the Southern patch of the Tavoliere to the right of Carapelle stream.The origins of the name "Orta" are rather controversial, as it may indicate: "crooked-born", from Latin ortus, or "garden" from the Latin word hortus, or also "East".
