GLI ABRUZZI

Abruzzo is defined by contrast: mountains and sea, isolation and continuity. Its interior villages have preserved agrarian traditions, seasonal rituals, and pastoral knowledge with remarkable integrity.

Here, culture is shaped by land — by transhumance routes, protected parks, and communities that learned endurance through geography. Abruzzo offers a quieter, deeply rooted expression of Italian heritage, where traditions are lived rather than performed. This, just one reason it was long ago referred to as multiple lands of the Abruzzi.
