italian travel team Abruzzo - Italy Travel Guide
Between the mountains and the hills, are narrow valleys and memorable natural paths, including the amazing and fascinating Aterno valley, dotted with old little towns.
Many are the natural reserves, like the National Parks of Abruzzo, of Gran Sasso and of the Lega Mountains, or that of Mount Majella, which ensure protection to the typical vegetable and animal species of the area, like golden eagles, wolves and Marsican brown bears.

Places to see in ( Teramo - Italy )
Teramo is a city and comune in the Italian region of Abruzzo, the capital of the province of Teramo. The city, 150 kilometres from Rome, is situated between the highest mountains of the Apennines and the Adriatic coast. The town is located by the confluence of the Vezzola and Tordino rivers, on a hillside area where the terrain features along with the Mediterranean climate make the territory rich in vineyards and olive groves. The economy of the town is mostly based on activities connected with agriculture and commerce, as well as a sound industrial sector: textiles, foods, engineering, building materials and ceramics. Teramo can be reached from the A14 and the A24 motorways.
The name is already defined in extant manuscripts of the Liber Coloniarum into Teramne, whence its modern form of Teramo. But in the Middle Ages it appears to have been known also by the name of Aprutium, supposed to be a corruption of Praetutium, or rather of the name of the people Praetutii, applied (as was so often the case in Gaul) to their chief city. Thus the name Abrutium is present among the cities of Picenum enumerated by the Geographer of Ravenna (iv. 31); and under the Lombards a comes Aprutii is mentioned. The name has been retained in that of Abruzzo, now a region of Italy.
A settlement of the 1st millennium BC and some buildings of ancient Italic tribes were the object of archaeological excavations. The most ancient historical remains were found in the outskirts of the city, precisely in the neighborhood Madonna delle grazie, where, among many, a burial place with a dagger and a halberd were found. Allegedly, the development of the old settlement was due to the commercial center founded by the Etruscan and Phoenician civilization.
The city's main attractions include:
the Cathedral of Saint Berardo, built in 1158 by bishop Guido II, in Romanesque style. It has a portal in Gothic style, finished in 1332 by the Roman master Deodato di Cosma. It houses a silver antependium by Nicola of Guardiagrele (with 35 scenes of the life of Jesus) and a polyptych by the Venetian artist Jacobello del Fiore depicting the Incoronation of the Virgin. Annexed is a 50-metre-tall (164-foot) bell tower.
the Romanesque church of Sant'Antonio (1127), with a decorated portal. The interior, with a single nave, was renovated along Baroque lines.
the church of San Getulio, built in the early Middle Ages on the ruins of a Roman temple, finally destroyed in 1155 by the Normans. Only the presbyterium and some Romanesque elements of the original building remain today.
the church of San Domenico (14th century) with a fine Virgin with Child.
the sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie (also known as Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie). It has a Romanesque cloister and a 15th-century miraculous wooden statue of the Virgin, attributed to Silvestro dell'Aquila.
the Palazzo Vescovile (Bishops Palace), from the 14th century.
the remains of the Roman theatre (built about 30 BC) and of the amphitheatre (about 3rd–4th century AD). Under Palazzo Savini are remains of a Roman domus, including a 1st-century BC opus tessellatum pavement which depicts a fighting lion and other decorative elements.
the Torre Bruciata (Burnt Tower), a Roman tower from the 2nd century BC, in opus quadratum. The name derives from the traces left by the siege in 1156 by Robert III of Loritello.
Church of Santa Maria de Praediis (10th–11th centuries), built using materials from the destroyed castle and Roman villas and temples.

Roccaraso Ski Resort, Central Italy
From our village Morricone it is 2 hours and 20 minutes to the large ski resort of Roccaraso. We could head off at 7.30 and be skiing by 10, then come back at 3 and be home by 5.30. However, we usually choose to stay over for a night and get 2 days skiing in.
Although the resort gets busy at the weekends, it is very quiet mid-week. We went on 18th January, 2018, the weather was beautiful, but the wide slopes were lovely and quiet. Much better than the horribly crowded resorts in the Alps!!
The trails are wide and there are over 110 kilometres, half of which have snowmaking.
There are many areas suitable for children to learn to ski or board.
There are closer resorts to us, including Campo Imperatore (45 minutes), Prati di Tivo (1 hour), Ovindoli(90 minutes) and Campo Felice (80 minutes), so ski lovers have plenty of choice!

SOVANA - Il Borgo e la Necropoli etrusca - Tuscany - HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI™◊
Nella Toscana del sud, in provincia di Grosseto, si trova Sovana, suggestivo borgo dall’atmosfera ferma nel tempo, rappresenta un raro gioiello di urbanistica medievale.
Dal 7° al 3° secolo avanti Cristo fu un fiorente centro etrusco; di questo periodo è la importante Necropoli Etrusca con la sua tomba “regina” chiamata Tomba Ildebranda a forma di tempio greco. Fu poi importante città in epoca romana, tanto è vero che nei primi secoli del Cristianesimo divenne sede vescovile.
Fu conquistata dai Longobardi (594), e divenne dominio degli Aldobrandeschi il cui Ducato arrivò a comprendere l’intera provincia di Grosseto. Passata poi alla Famiglia Orsini per successione ereditaria fu saccheggiata e devastata dai Senesi nel 1410.
Rimasta in una situazione di grande abbandono per secoli, ha avuto la fortuna di poter arrivare intatta fino ai giorni nostri nella sua veste medioevale.
Dalla Rocca Aldobrandesca, percorrendo un selciato in cotto, si arriva fino alla Cattedrale dei SS. Pietro e Paolo, e racchiusa così tra i simboli dei poteri che l’hanno governata, Sovana conserva ancora il suo antico incanto e splendore. Nella Piazza del Pretorio si può ammirare il Palazzo Pretorio, la Loggia del Capitano, il Palazzo dell’Archivio, nonché la Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore e il seicentesco Palazzo Bourbon del Monte, in parte addossato all’antica Chiesa di San Mamiliano e, proseguendo per via del Duomo
Caratteristica della zona collinare erano e sono le Vie Cave, strade di breve lunghezza ma interamente e profondamente scavate nel tufo, un tempo erano usate come vie di comunicazione tra i piccoli insediamenti e spesso nelle loro vicinanze venivano collocate le necropoli; oggi regalano ai visitatori straordinari ambienti d’incontaminata ricchezza naturalistica.
