The Tavoliere is an important agricultural area: grapefruit, olives, durum wheat and tomato are the chief products.

Scattered with small villages, the mountains are covered by forests and pastures, with the main produce being hams and caciocavallo cheese.

Faetar, a language descended from Franco-Provençal, is spoken in two villages: Faeto and Celle di San Vito.

[2] Foggia receives many Catholic pilgrims each year to locations such as the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel in Monte Sant'Angelo, which was visited by Pope John Paul II in 1987, and to nearby San Giovanni Rotondo, the home of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina from 1916 until his death in 1968.

As the number of pilgrims to San Giovanni Rotondo kept increasing over the years, in 2004 a new shrine near the church was built.
