Vasto, a beautiful town on the south coast of Abruzzo, was formed by the people of Dalmatia. Diomedes called the town Histon that reminded him Mount Histone of Corfu. In an unspecified period, Vasto was by settled the Frentani and entered in the Roman orbit as allies between the end of the IV and beginning of the III century B.C. After the social war, Vasto became a Roman municipality with the name of Histonium. After many invasions, between the XIII and the XIX century, it was part of, together with its region, the Kingdom of Naples. In the Angevin period, towards the end of the XV century, it passed to the D'Avalos, who built the palace of the same name and was destroyed by the Turks in the XVI century, but was immediately rebuilt in Renaissance style. In 1710, Vasto was awarded the title of city. In 1938, Mussolini renamed the city in Istonio to remind the Roman period, but returned to be called Vasto in 1944 after its release. Between 1940-43, on the coast, there was a concentration camp for anti-fascists and VISIT: The St. Joseph's Cathedral dates back to the XIII century and was enlarged in the XIX and XX century. At first it was dedicated to St. Augustine and then took its current name during the French decade. The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, dates from 1195 and is one of the oldest churches in Vasto. The Church of San Michele Arcangelo, where the story is told in 1656, following the plague, Vastesi walled with a stone of the Shrine of St. Michael the Archangel who would protect them. At 300m from the outside of the walls the church was built on the land donated by Francesco Cresci in 1657 and ended in 1675. San Michele was proclaimed patron of the city in 1827. The Palazzo D'Avalos was built by James Caldora but later it was owned by the D'Avalos. Today, in its interior, is home to an archaeological museum, a museum and an art gallery of the Municipality.

Medio Vastese. Amore a prima visita. English. Parte II
The Medio Vastese area includes 16 towns and it extends over a territory that from the coast gently climbs up and enters the mountainous area. Sixteen communities, small jewels located only a few kilometers from Vasto and San Salvo, enveloped in a natural environment of extreme importance.
Three rivers, the Trigno, Treste and Sinello, cut through the territory up to the coast in symmetrical and orthogonal paths that accompany the slopes down from the sub-mountainous area. The entire area reminds of the typical Mediterranean landscape: pine groves, coppice and tall forest trees, green oasis of olive groves, almond and cherry trees.
The characteristic of the majority of these villages is their medieval structure. It can be said, in fact, that there is no village, dominant summit, mountain pass or promontory without its own tower, castle, fortified barrier, and homes built into the fortified walls of the city or under the arcades. Another unique characteristic of the area is the fact that most villages preserved their surroundings still untouched, within their original context.
This journey to the discovery of medieval history in the Medio Vastese area can begin from Carpineto Sinello which, in addition to the ruins of the Ducal Castle, hosts in the highest area of town also the peculiar and unique Museum of Pig; or the visit can begin from the 13th century Castle of Palmoli, which was declared a national monument in 1928.
Gissi holds spectacular scenery, where the most ancient homes were built overhanging and partly dug into the rock or drawn from the natural caves of a territory renowned for its crystallized gypsum quarries.
The historical centre of Monteodorisio, with its walls, majestic castle, the Church of San Giovanni Battista, the watch towers and the access doors to the city, evokes its medieval past at every corner.
Whoever arrives in town is greeted also by the Madonna delle Grazie shrine, a pilgrimage destination for the entire region.
Throughout the Dark Ages, hermitage was a strong expression of religious culture in Abruzzo: Medio Vastese offers also a fascinating itinerary to the discovery of its shrines.
In Liscia it is possible to find the San Michele Arcangelo shrine, immersed in the green surroundings of an enormous forest, adjacent to an extremely old cave with a source of spring water and stalactites.
The Furci village is renowned especially for being the birthplace of Beato Angelo, an Augustian friar, a great performer of miracles. Every year thousands of pilgrims travel to Furci to visit the shrine dedicated to Beato Angelo.
At the entrance of Scerni there is the Madonna della Strada shrine, while in San Buono it is possible to find the magnificent Convent of Sant'Antonio, immersed in nature, a convent that today also hosts the Art and Achaeology Museum of the Vastese Area.
The distinctive traits that characterize the territory of the Medio Vastese are found in those values that allowed the local populations to manage the environmental heritage over time while renovating the available resources, from forestry to sheep farming to the production of unique cheeses and cold cuts.
In the hilly area and in the area at the foot of the hills, which extends from the hills of Scerni and Guilmi up to Roccaspinalveti, the pig, symbol of abundance in regional tradition, still holds an important place in today's farming economy and it allowed the production of high quality pork-butchering; it is sufficient to think about the great fame of the ventricina, the most traditional local cold-cut still produced in an old-fashioned manner.
Another typical product representative of the territory is the artichoke of Cupello, recognized by the European Quality mark. An excellent artichoke both for fresh consumption and for processing, called mazzaferrata (iron mace) for its rounded shape, which reminds that of the ancient medieval weapon.
Trigno Sinello Gusto. English
It is difficult to find places where flavours and gastronomic traditions are preserved from every kind of contamination and taste standardization. The gastronomic flavours of Abruzzo come from far away, from the depths of this region history, from centuries of experience in farming, breeding and raw material manufacturing.
Wine and oil represent the most important products of the local agricultural economy, the first ones that have gained different origin denominations and indications, such as the PDO (protected denomination of origin) extra virgin oil, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and the AC (Appellation contrôlée) Trebbiano. Going a bit further, we notice that the southern part of Abruzzo presents a food and gastronomic heritage of several varieties and novelties, among which the irresistible ventricina, called the queen of Italian salami, represents the main dish.
The Vastese cuisine has many souls, due to the variety of territories and cultures that live here together.
The agro-pastoral cuisine has developed, as well as the one of peasants and shepherds living in mountain and piedmont areas, based on simple and tasty dishes, mutton, soup, cheese and sweet herbs, and the seafood cuisine that combines fish variety with the vegetable heritage of the hills close to the coast.
Typical dish of the seafood cuisine is brodetto alla vastese, a tasty fish soup dressed with fresh tomato sauce that has been created to make use of the entire rock fish variety, once called the scafetta from the small fisherman basket. Today this is a special dish that can include seafood, prawns, cuttlefishes, codfish, mullet, rock fish, smooth hound, ray and many other minor species.
This cuisine, either based on sea or agricultural food, has always been simple due to the exclusive use of the territory products and few elaborations; nonetheless, it reveals great creativity in many recipes, often originated from nutritional needs or from poor food availability or selection, so that old generations have been driven to use these products or mix them together in a creative way. An example is the pallotte cace e ove dish, conceived in order to make up for meat shortage.
Absolutely innovative is the combination of strong Mediterranean flavours in the scapece dish, a special fish conserve based on vinegar and saffron, typical of the Vastese coastline.
Original cooking methods are used to prepare the agnello sotto il coppo, where the lamb meat is placed directly on red-hot grill, under a big lid that reminds clearly of the pastoral culture, the transhumance and the open-air food preparation.
Homemade pasta is another main point of the regional gastronomy. One can easily find in the Vastese area the sagne a pèzze or tacconelle pasta, cut with the characteristic irregular rhomboidal shape, or the ndorciolloni, a type of handmade pasta cut with the help of a typical tool of the Abruzzo cuisine called the chitarra (guitar).
As already mentioned, among the territory specialties, the place of honour goes to cut cold meats, such as the prosciuttill salami or the liver salami in grape syrup from Schiavi Di Abruzzo, but above all, the red ventricina charcuterie, produced anywhere in the area, especially in Guilmi, Scerni, Palmoli, Carunchio, Castiglione Messer Marino, Carpineto and Roccaspinalveti, and to be tasted with delicious pecorino cheese. In the inland, other delightful products are the renowned tender artichokes of Cupello, belonging to the mazzaferrata variety and with the typical opening at the top, or both white and black truffles that make of Abruzzo one of the most important Italian region for truffle quantity and quality.
Moreover, the mountain and piedmont uncontaminated areas, so rich in sweet herbs and flowers, are the ideal environment for honey production. Associated with festivals and local traditions are patisserie products such as the cicerchiata pastries, sweet pies, the bocconotti, caggionetti with chickpeas and mostaccioli pastries, stuffed celli and ferratelle pastries, the aragonese sweet pie, the citrus nougat, all to be combined with a traditional grape syrup or ratafià wine glass.
