You can look at the weather stats here (Italian article though but it's the usual template so you should know; stats are between 1970-2000) and here (English but not as accurate)
A clarification. It's a rather continental climate which means as it's quite exposed cold snaps mostly from East and North which means that zero degrees or lower temps aren't uncommon on winter nights while this could never be experienced on the Tyrrhenian side of Italy who are sheltered from the Appennines. Ice days aren't likely at all. February 2012 was probably the coldest month in recent times.
Shoulder seasons are what you would expect in a Mediterranean country, they are the wetter period of the year, trees usually bloom around mid-late March and rarely later but the Spring season usually gets in full swing in April. Same goes for Autumn, leaves fall in mid-late October whereas Autumn weather gets in full spring in early-mid October.
Summer is baking hot, rarely humid but when coldwaves hit us weare one of the warmest area in Italy and Europe having hit 47C° in June 2007. we can get months such as July 2015 and July 2007

I like it, it has similar climate to inland LA with the exception of precip distribution. Under my climate system, both are Btb (Subtropical Semi Arid Hot Summer), so Foggia gets an A- from me 👍

This street view says all I need to know about your climate.
Your avg jan low shown in the table was 37F. I don't know of many places in the US with an avg Jan low of 37F and beautiful healthy CIDP palms. Consider Atlanta low of 35F and you won't see those. Consider Charleston SC avg low of 40F and you will not see public street plantings of CIDP.
Your climate is far more stable than anything over here in the East. And no ice days is pretty impressive given your latitude. I don't have to tell you how far south in the US places with ice days happen.
D: it's a bad climate for me. Summers are too hot, and winters are warm. At least winters are comfortable, so it's not hot year-round, as there's a comfortable period. It looks very similar to BahÃa Blanca, Argentina.

B+ for your climate.
I meant "continental" more in the sense that it tends to have high diurnal ranges, especially in summer and not in the sense that temps are variable from one week to the other but then again this May we've had a day with a high of 13C° and another with a high of 34C° which is pretty continental for Italian standards.
As for winter lows, they venture below zero but never exaggeratedly (lowest minimum ever is -10,5C° and that was three decades ago) so which i guess allows CIDP palms to thrive.

Is there any city in Italy with a temperature span of 70 °C or more? I would be interested.
