It is said that Frederick II was not very complacent with the people of Bari. He said it was better not to trust them too much because the more they ensure loyalty the more they meditate on the betrayal by plotting from behind. On a book I really read that he would have said thus: “People treacherous that of Bari. In words he promises you many things”. And then again: “Try to avoid the Bari daggers. If they say hello to you, look at yourself like an enemy. “
