The sea of Abruzzi is all this and more: it is also the gateway to the hinterland 'green heart of Europe' for its rich natural heritage of forests, valleys, springs and high altitude meadows, jealously protected by parks and reserves. But there is also room for the history and architecture; Abruzzi, mindful of its past as a communication land between Rome and the Adriatic Sea, has preserved as relics villages, castles, abbeys and hermitages.

Kissed by the cultural and artistic ferment of the poetry of d'Annunzio, the thought of Benedetto Croce and painting of Michetti, Abruzzi, very mountainous region, remains one of the most virgin areas of Eruopa. The coastal resorts are continuing to develop as the mountain areas are being depopulated. The expanses of sandy beaches, the pleasant and relaxing hilly appearance, the charm of the great mountain ranges, the quiet archaic forms of life, the lively folk aspects, the wealth of historic and artistic heritage, pure folk tradition and human aspects are Abruzzi characteristic that make it unique.
