Abruzzo Tourism

Abruzzo is one of the most historically fascinating areas of Italy  , with much archaeological evidence dating back to pre-roman times. Its earliest inhabitants were the Picenians, who along with the Sanitti, the Vestinians, the Marsians, Equians and Praetutions were ruthlessly overcome by the might of the Roman invaders and forced into submission in 90BC. Their hilltop settlements are still to be seen in Abruzzo’s many villages and towns, from L’Aquila and Sulmona in the Abruzzan uplands to Guardiagrele, Casoli and Roccascalegna facing the Adriatic sea over the littoral plains. The poet Ovid and Historian Sallust were both Abruzzan, as was, much later, Gabriele d’Annunzio, poet, playwright and hero of the Italian Risorgimento. The Abruzzo Italy is stunning in its’ magnificence – on the west the Apennines and the huge National Parks of the Gran Sasso, the Maiella and the Sirente Velino. Here are vast tracts of forest (oak, beech and chestnut) populated with golden eagles, chamois, lynxes, deer and wild boar. There are wolves and even bears to be found in these silent glades. Above them the mountains, almost lunar in their bare splendour.Pescara accommodation There is much here for the keen hiker or climber, with huts and refuges for overnight use. Skiing has also developed into a major sport, with over 22 resorts round Aquila in the north alone, and also Roccaraso, the southernmost resort of the Apennines, much favoured by Neapolitans and Romans alike. To the east, miles of fabulous beaches on the Adriatic, ranging from the sophistication of Pescara to the untamed Vasto peninsula, reminiscent of the wilder reaches of the North Cornish coast. The proximity of the increasingly popular Croatian coastline and archipelago, easily accessible from Ancona, Pescara, Ortona, provides an added attraction, especially for recreational sailors. Abruzzo lies on the coast East of Lazio on the Adriatic. It’s among the most mountainous abruzzo region in Italy and home to some of the most interesting cooking in the country. Due to the mountains themselves, much of Abruzzo grew separated from the influence of international commerce and civilization until the 20th century. Fun fact: at one time, the area was considered more Pagan than Rome, the home of Christianity, to the west. With this physical exclusion , the region’s cuisine stays unique, a gastronomical heaven. Along the coast, there lie incredible port towns with incredible seafood, served raw, or simply boiled and dressed with oil and lemon. places to visit in abruzzo In L’Aquila, home of the best saffron in Italy, there are many good dining choices. A simple trattoria called Elodia is my favorite. It’s a perfect expression of the local flavor and run by a family whose lifeblood is their love for the restaurant. A half hour drive west from L’Aquila will bring you to what many consider the best Roman restaurant in Italy, L’Angolo d’Abruzzo in Carsoli. There, foraging reigns supreme with ovoli and porcini in season, game and lamb almost year round, and a cellar that can hold its own against many fancy city restaurants. Even the desserts are wonderful here… dinner here is worth the trip alone.
