Abruzzi, also known as Abruzzo, is a region in southern Italy. The region stretches from the heart of the Apennines to the Adriatic Sea and is noted for its diverse landscapes. It is home to snowy peaks, dense forests, rolling hills, and sandy coastlines.
Abruzzo is divided into four provinces: L'Aquila (the regional capital), Teramo, Pescara, and Chieti. Each province boasts a unique culture, history, and cuisine.
One of the main attractions of Abruzzi is its three national parks and one regional park, which collectively cover approximately one-third of the region. The parks include the Abruzzo National Park, the Sirente-Velino Regional Park, and the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, which contains the highest peak in the Apennines.
These natural attractions make Abruzzi a popular destination for hiking, skiing, and mountain climbing. For those interested in history and culture, Abruzzi offers many historic towns, castles, and museums.
In terms of cuisine, the region is known for its hearty, rustic dishes. Common ingredients include lamb, pasta, and locally grown produce such as saffron and olives. The region is also known for its wine, particularly the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo red wine.
Despite its many attractions, Abruzzi remains relatively off-the-beaten-track for tourists, maintaining its authentic Italian charm.
