Itineraries in Abruzzo

The discovery of the many resources this region has to offer to visitors has just about started, and under many points of view its natural, artistic and cultural treasures are still largely unknown to mass tourism.

The (unconventional) map of Abruzzo shows an eagle, bear and chamois (natural sites), sunumbrellas on the Adriatic and a skier (leisure time), a Romanesque church and the statue of an Italic warrior (history and architecture), a woman working on the traditional tombolo (typical crafts).
