Abruzzo Italy Travel Articles
Book
your trip to Abruzzo with our team of Italy travel professionals! Historically, Abruzzo
was a rural and poor society somewhat isolated from the rest of the
country. This might explain why between 1901 and 1915 alone, a million
people emigrated from Abruzzo and neighboring Molise
- many to the United States. Thirty percent of Abruzzo is covered by
nature reserves and three national parks, helping Abruzzo earn the
distinction as the greenest region in Europe. Parco Nazionale
d’Abruzzo protects
endangered species such as the Marscian Bear and the Appenine
Wolf. Although it is Abruzzo’s most populated city,
the port of Pescara
isn’t the most alluring of destinations. Further
inland, the regional capital of L’Aquila
is a far more interesting and beautiful place; in fact The Financial Times has
called it “the most handsome city in Abruzzo.” Emperor
Frederick II founded the town
in 1240, supposedly by joining 99 villages together.
