Phalanthus, the Parthenian leader, went to <a href="/wiki/Delphi" title="Delphi">Delphi</a> to consult the <a href="/wiki/Sibyl" title="Sibyl">oracle</a>: the puzzling answer designated the harbour of Taranto as the new home of the exiles.

The denomination was a Nomos, a die-cast silver coin whose weight, size and purity were controlled by the state.

Most of the <a href="/wiki/South_Italian" class="mw-redirect" title="South Italian">South Italian</a> Greek vessels known as <a href="/wiki/Basilican" class="mw-redirect" title="Basilican">Basilican</a> ware were made in different workshops in the city. </p><p>Unfortunately, none of the names of the artists have survived, so modern scholars have been obliged to give the recognizable artistic hands and workshops nicknames based on the subject matter of their works, museums which possess the works, or individuals who have distinguished the works from others. Some of the most famous of the Apulian vase painters at Taras are now called: the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Iliupersis_Painter&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Iliupersis Painter (page does not exist)">Iliupersis Painter</a>, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Lycurgus_Painter&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lycurgus Painter (page does not exist)">Lycurgus Painter</a>, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gioia_del_Colle_Painter&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gioia del Colle Painter (page does not exist)">Gioia del Colle Painter</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Darius_Painter" title="Darius Painter">Darius Painter</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Underworld_Painter" title="Underworld Painter">Underworld Painter</a>, and the <a href="/w/index.php?title=White_Sakkos_Painter&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="White Sakkos Painter (page does not exist)">White Sakkos Painter</a>, among others. </p><p>The wares produced by these workshops were usually large elaborate vessels intended for mortuary use. The forms produced included <a href="/wiki/Volute_krater" class="mw-redirect" title="Volute krater">volute kraters</a>, <a href="/wiki/Loutrophoros" title="Loutrophoros">loutrophoroi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Patera" title="Patera">paterai</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oinochoe" class="mw-redirect" title="Oinochoe">oinochoai</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lekythos" title="Lekythos">lekythoi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fish_plate" title="Fish plate">fish plates</a>, etc. The decoration of these vessels was <a href="/wiki/Red_figure" class="mw-redirect" title="Red figure">red figure</a> (with figures reserved in red clay fabric, while the background was covered in a black gloss), with overpainting (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sovradipinto&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Sovradipinto (page does not exist)">sovradipinto</a>) in white, pink, yellow, and maroon slips. </p><p>Often the style of the drawings is florid and frilly, as was already the fashion in 4th-century Athens. Distinctive South Italian features also begin to appear. Many figures are shown seated on rocks. Floral motifs become very ornate, including spiraling vines and leaves, <a href="/wiki/Rose" title="Rose">roses</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lily" class="mw-redirect" title="Lily">lilies</a>, <a href="/wiki/Poppy" title="Poppy">poppies</a>, sprays of <a href="/wiki/Lauraceae" title="Lauraceae">laurel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Acanthus_(plant)" title="Acanthus (plant)">acanthus leaves</a>. Often the subject matter consists of naiskos scenes (scenes showing the statue of a deceased person in a naos, a miniature temple or shrine). Most often the naiskos scene occupies one side of the vase, while a mythological scene occupies the other. Images depicting many of the Greek myths are only known from South Italian vases, since Athenian ones seem to have had more limited repertoires of depiction. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tarentum.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tarentum.jpg/220px-Tarentum.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="106" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="240"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 106px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tarentum.jpg/220px-Tarentum.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="106" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tarentum.jpg/330px-Tarentum.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tarentum.jpg/440px-Tarentum.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>Ancient coin from Taranto, with the eponym <a href="/wiki/Taras_(mythology)" title="Taras (mythology)">Taras</a> hero riding a dolphin.</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="World_War_II">World War II</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Taranto&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: World War II" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Taranto" title="Battle of Taranto">Battle of Taranto</a> took place on the night of 11–12 November 1940 during the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War</a> between British naval forces, under Admiral <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Cunningham,_1st_Viscount_Cunningham_of_Hyndhope" title="Andrew Cunningham, 1st Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope">Andrew Cunningham</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Italian naval forces, under Admiral <a href="/wiki/Inigo_Campioni" title="Inigo Campioni">Inigo Campioni</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> launched the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack in history, employing 21 <a href="/wiki/Fairey_Swordfish" title="Fairey Swordfish">Fairey Swordfish</a> biplane <a href="/wiki/Torpedo_bomber" title="Torpedo bomber">torpedo bombers</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Aircraft_carrier" title="Aircraft carrier">aircraft carrier</a> <a href="/wiki/HMS_Illustrious_(87)" title="HMS Illustrious (87)">HMS <i>Illustrious</i></a> in the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea" title="Mediterranean Sea">Mediterranean Sea</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The attack struck the battle fleet of the <i><a href="/wiki/Regia_Marina" title="Regia Marina">Regia Marina</a></i> at anchor in the harbour of Taranto, using <a href="/wiki/Aerial_torpedo" title="Aerial torpedo">aerial torpedoes</a> despite the shallowness of the water.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Taranto_Prize_(Premio_Taranto)"><span id="The_Taranto_Prize_.28Premio_Taranto.29"></span>The Taranto Prize (Premio Taranto)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Taranto&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The Taranto Prize (Premio Taranto)" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Unreferenced_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Unreferenced" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>does not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">cite</a> any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">sources</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Taranto" title="Special:EditPage/Taranto">improve this section</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a>.

The coordinator, Antonio Rizzo, was a physicist who graduated with Enrico Fermi. He intended to promote a new cultural impulse of a pacifist nature for the city. The event was structured into two sections: literature and painting. Several artists of international calibre, such as <a href="/wiki/Pier_Paolo_Pasolini" title="Pier Paolo Pasolini">Pier Paolo Pasolini</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carlo_Emilio_Gadda" title="Carlo Emilio Gadda">Carlo Emilio Gadda</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Giorgio_de_Chirico" title="Giorgio de Chirico">Giorgio de Chirico</a>, participated.
