Abruzzo - "the Green Heart" of Europe
Abruzzo is a unique region for its geographical
characteristics: it looks out over the Adriatic Coast and at the same time, at
only 60km from its beaches, the highest peaks of the Apennine Mountains (Gran
Sasso d'Italia and Maiella Mountains) can admired It is also known as "the
green heart" of Europe for the extensive presence of parks, reserves and protected
areas. In fact, the region hosts three National Parks, a Regional Park
and thirty-eight regional and state oases and reserves. Protected areas
encompass a total of 30% of the entire regional territory. Abruzzo is made up
of four provinces - Chieti, Pescara,
Teramo and L'Aquila
- the latter being also the region's capital.
The Town of Teramo
Located in the northern part of Abruzzo, Teramo lies in
an area of green hills just under the Gran
Sasso Mountain
called the Tordino Valley - a stretch of land rich with vineyards and
olive orchards, that extends up to the Adriatic Coast.
The historical part of the town is surrounded by two bodies of water - the
Tordino and Vezzola
Rivers.
Teramo is easily accessible from the motorway A24, also known as "Autostrada dei Parchi", that links to Rome in less than two hours, and the motorway A14 connecting the cities of Ancona and Pescara.
