Final Document: my contribution to Wikipedia
Thanks to this project I have had the opportunity to write about a Southern Italian town and a part of its local heritage, which I think should deserve more recognition in the Italian and foreign market.

First, I have decided to contribute by editing an already existing page on Wikipedia about Polignano a Mare, as it represents one of the most visited destinations in my region but still, it did not provide enough useful English information. To do so, I have added most of the history of the town, the main local places of interest and also, I have updated the current population. (Istat data) Furthermore, by mentioning and then linking "The Abbey of San Vito Martire" within the same article, I have ensured that people would probably browse that page as well.

My second contribution, indeed, concerned the creation of a new article about this latter; particularly, this is a not so well-known place in a small hamlet close to the main town, which I thought had the potential to arouse the interest of visitors if only information about it were made available. For this matter, I have decided to add three main sections related to its history, the legend behind it and something about its architecture. Later, I have found out that an open-license image of the Abbey was already provided by Wikimedia, so I have added it as well to better give an idea of the topic.

Citation and use of sources
The most useful source was the one of Pro Loco Polignano a Mare http://www.prolocopolignanoamare.com/ although it was available in Italian only. Therefore, I had to adapt it and translate it. Unfortunately, the municipality's official website https://www.comune.polignanoamare.ba.it/ was almost empty and did not provide any information.
