Corato is a town and comune in Italy. It is located in the Bari province of the Apulian region, in southeastern Italy. Founded by the Normans, it became subject to Alfonso V, king of Aragon, at the end of the 15th century, and later to the Carafa family. The chief feature of the old town centre, which is surrounded by modern buildings, is the Romanesque church. It is a twin city of Grenoble, France, where many Coratini immigrated during the twentieth century.
Corato was a little village. The year that marks the beginning of Corato's history is 1046; Pietro il Normanno occupied the few houses of the farmers and founded Corato. Pietro decided to endow this little town of some elements:a castle, four angular towers,the perimetery enclosing walls,four access doors,two main perpendicular streets. These elements, typical of a mediaeval town, were preserved until the 16th century; this was a particular thriving moment for the private aristocratic building. From the 17th century Corato started to extend from all four sides of the Norman falling walls, in fact from this period and the following centuries the town saw the big construction of churches and palaces that belonged to aristocracy. Today Corato is an important agricultural and industrial centre of the hinterland of Bari, placed 43 kilometres (27 mi) west from it and at 232 metres (761 ft) above sea level. The patron saint of the town is San Cataldo.
An artificial season
Covered by summer rain
Losing all my reason
Cause there's nothing left to blame
Shadows paint the sidewalk
A living picture in a frame
See the sea of people
All their faces look the same
So I sat down for awhile
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, Just one dime
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith
Losing my faith
