The bombing of Foggia took place on several occasions in 1943, by Allied aircraft. The bombing caused 20,298 civilian victims during nine air raids.
The aim of the Allied Forces was to prevent the use of the transport network and airfields at Foggia. The transport network was an important focal point in the deployment of German and Italian troops used to counter the Allied attacks on Southern Italy and the invasion of Sicily in July (Operation Husky). It has been claimed that the raids were too extensive and caused excessively high levels of deaths and casualties amongst the civilian population (about a third of the population were killed.[citation needed] The air raids continued after an armistice had been signed between the Allies and Italy due to the concentration of German troops in Foggia.
The city of Foggia was awarded the Italian gold medal for civil valor on 22 November 1959 for having suffered 20,298 victims, and of the Italian gold medal for military valor on 25 April 2007.
