Abruzzo
The Region is essentially hilly and mountainous even if the
eastern part of the territory runs , for several Km, along the
Adriatic Sea . The capital of the region is
l’Aquila (Eagle) built in 1254 by the command
Frederick II, that put together several small villages (apparently 99). The
region is rich of Roman civilization vestiges but its creative period reached
its height during the Middle Age ( e.g.. the church of Santa Maria di
Collemaggio).
Where I would like to take you :
L’Aquila is a city that deserves a visit but in addition I will
take you on a tour in the western part of the region, around the
National Park of
Abruzzo, where there are still numerous animal
species such as “The Marsican Bear” and “The Gray
Wolf”.
Minimum Time to be dedicate: 7 Days ( together with
