In 1945, about 30 Italian members of a tiny Sabbatarian sect converted to Judaism.[3] Most of the gerim emigrated to Israel and reside mainly in the cities of Birya and Safed, although some remain in San Nicandro Garganico today.[3]
It's a commercial city but, especially in the summer period, very tourist.
