current nave of the church is partially built over the old eleventh-century church, of which only a dome and the underlying structure remain, in today's altar area. Annexed is the Crusaders Hospital, also from the eleventh century. The basilica conserves an image that was a votive gift of some Crusaders in 1188. The lighthouse People Personalities from Molfetta include the Rococo painter Corrado Giaquinto, the 19th-century composer Luigi Capotorti, the anti-fascist politician and writer Gaetano Salvemini, the assassinated magistrate Girolamo Minervini, the conductor Riccardo Muti, Cardinal Angelo Amato, goalkeeper Vitangelo Spadavecchia, artist Rossella Biscotti, the rapper Caparezza, and Domenico Leccisi, who is best known for stealing the corpse of the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini from an unmarked grave. Migration During the times of the mass migration of Italians, mainly following World War II, many Molfettese residents migrated to a town in South Australia called Port Pirie. The culture of Molfetta is celebrated in Port Pirie and officials of both Port Pirie and Molfetta have close links today. In the United States, many Molfettese immigrants settled in the city of Hoboken, New Jersey, where a substantial enclave still exists today.
