Domenico Santoro_

Domenico Santoro (died after 1688) was a local historian and physician closely related to the city of Altamura, Kingdom of Naples. He's known mostly for his essay on the history of the that town: "Description of the city of Altamura" (Italian: Descrizione della città di Altamura, 1688). In his work, the author provides information on the history and the life of Altamura, perhaps drawing from documents now lost. The work has also been copied by priest D. Vitangelo Frizzale.
