You’ve surely heard of the wonders of Tuscany… but, like so many other well-touted destinations, Tuscany has had its day; it’s played out. Its market is now overly-developed and pricey—hardly accessible to the regular tourist or expat, these days.
Not to fear.
Abruzzo has everything Tuscany offers and much more—at a fraction of the cost. A couple could live here very comfortably on US$1,400 or less (much less of you own a home)… and the region even offers the opportunity for owning a nice plot of land—enough to allow would-be farmers to become self-sufficient.
Known as one of the greenest areas in all of Europe, Abruzzo stretches from the Apennines to the Adriatic and is home to over 3,816.25 square km (about 1,474 square miles) of protected national parkland. The mountains here are the country’s most important and most visited after the Dolomites. Its fertile land grows crops practically year round—you’ll find it hard to drive through the countryside without seeing several hundred acres of vineyards, olive groves, and orchards of cherry and peach trees… not to mention everything growing underneath the soil that the non-farm-educated can only guess at.
Its outdoor nature makes it a delight for the active. Aside from mountains (with over a dozen ski resorts) and beaches (129 km of them), it offers dense forests to hike and picnic in, medieval towns to explore, and deep valleys patchworked alternately with crops, orchards, groves, and vineyards… plus two golf courses.
And, of course, this is still Italy, rural though this particular region may be. You won’t have any trouble finding “high culture”—museums, archeological sites, galleries, fashion shows, and haute cuisine. And if what Abruzzo has to offer isn’t enough, Rome is less than two hours’ drive from some parts of the region, Milan, Venice, and Florence are all about four and a half.
The climate here is temperate year-round. It gets chilly in winter—you’ll want boots and a hat along with your winter coat, but snow and freezing conditions aren’t typical here unless you’re up in the mountains. In the summer, it gets hot enough to enjoy the local beaches, but, thanks to its coastal location, breezes keep it from getting too stuffy. Averages have the hottest temperatures at about 75°F in July and about 45°F in January.

Surrounded by Turkey oak, beech and chestnut trees, the village is clung to a hill on the right side of the Treste River that commands a great view of Maiella and Gargano.
The first sources date back to the 12th Century. Originally the village was probably situated in the locality of Taverna, later in the 16th Century it has been moved to the current seat, perhaps because the earliest inhabitants considered it more defensible from Saracen and Slav frequent invasions. What is left of the ancient town walls are the two Gates of Coluccia and Nocicchia, which is also known as the Big Gate. In the highest part of the medieval village, the fortified buildings of Turdò and Castelli with their imposing mass seem to evoke the shape of the ancient Castle. Further down, the parish Church of San Giovanni Battista hosts in its interior a rare pipe organ of the 17th Century, manufactured by hands of the Molise region.
Medieval architecture features are to be found in the structure of the Church of Purgatorio, whose interior holds a marvelous series of frescos of the 14th Century.
Ventricina salami is one of the main characters of the festival that takes place in Carunchio on the 10th and 11th of August, so as the typical truffle crop.
