  • hi, i'm from Pescara, abruzzo main town. It's a nice video, but there are two little mistakes on towns names, there are capEstrano and civitellA del tronto.

    bye!

  • Thanks for the corrections! I know that I must have made the CapEstrano mistake because I am from Southern California, where the San Juan Capistrano has the Spanish spelling, but the materials I have has the spelling of CivitellA as CivitellO. I'll contact Italian tourism and get a clarification from them.

  • What a great video. Now I want to go. What's the best time of year?

  • The climate is very much like Southern California, lovely spring and fall, hot summers and mild but wet winters. There is nearly year-round skiing in the Sasso mountains. Summertime the beaches on the Adriatic are packed with Romans who take their holidays there. I went in April and the tourism season had yet to start, but you will never find the summer crowds away from the beach like you will find in Tuscany or Umbria.

see all

  • Great region of Italy

  • @bestbookbuys I was born in Tortoreto, and as it goes on the best time of the year to visit Abruzzo, as a region depends strictly on wether you prefer to go swimming in the sea and relax by doing nothing but laying on the warm sand - then the perfect time is either 25.06-10.07 or 15.09-30.09 all in between there are so many tourists, it's hard to breathe.

    On the other hand if you are more interested in visiting the inland scenery, go for spring, it's warm enough and the accomodation is cheaper

  • @danpizzaforrealtho hi dan, i wasn't referring to pronunciation, i neves saw (and i'm not expecting to see) not just a foreign, but also a non abruzzese correctly prounoncing abruzzesi names, just like the notorious problems that italians have with english language.

    At least i don't need to research italian pronunciation, since i'm italian.

    And, btw, the town wich i assume you wanted to quote on your nickname is pizzoferrato :P

  • @lokibau and pronunciation is wrong for all town names. i suggest you research italian pronunciations.

  • My family came from here in 1913. Love to move back!

  • affanculo tu...!

  • Thanks. I am passing around you link and video right now.

  • yeah badtars earthquake... terremoto bastardo. Abruzzo needs you italoamericans, americans.... watch my video response please, read the description. You'll find the official website where to find info for donations
