Many dialects are spoken here and they're all quiet different from each other, from the Greek influence of Salento to the Arabic sounding dialect of Bari; obviously Italian would be your best bet, maybe not local people's one though...

Described at times as the "Italian Jamaica", Apulia enjoys indeed quite a laid-back and melancholic mood according to different parameters. Street crime and local mafia related violence, though, has been a serious issue in the region in the dodgy 80s and 90s, particularly around the denser urban areas of Bari and Taranto, cities that somehow kept bearing a bad reputation til recent days.
However, most of this is a story gone long ago: Apulia is now one of the safest regions in the less-developed southern part of Italy and, outside of the poorest urban districts, violent crime is nearly unheard of, moreover you'll find locals to be rather helpful and hospitable. The rare aggression or beating are in the overwhelming majority of episodes cases of private disputes and/or alcohol-related and are never directed to tourists.
In fact, tourists, especially foreign, are more likely to fall victims of overpricing and mild touts linked to the expanding touristic industry rather than violent crimes.
