Abruzzo is a region in central Italy, east of Rome. Flanked by the Adriatic coast, consisting of endless stretches of beach whose sands are considered amongst the best in Italy. Until 1963 it was part of the Abruzzi region with Molise. Its territory is mountainous with hilly patchwork countryside. The Apennine mountains run through Abruzzo, having the highest peaks on mainland Italy; Corno Grande 2914m (Gran Sasso National Park), Monte Amaro 2795m (Majella National Park). Here can be found Europe’s southernmost glacier, Il Calderone. Abruzzo has shown the highest per capita growth in GDP and education levels, surpassing every other region in the south and much of Italy. The number of Italian and European tourists has increased in the area, this in part can be attributed to it's wealth of castles and medieval towns. The region has 21 ski areas all within a few hours of Rome. Abruzzo also is popular for cross country skiing, especially on the high plain of Campo Imperatore in the Gran Sasso. At the foot of the Gran Sasso lies Castelli where artisans have produced ceramics for most of the European royalty.
This little medieval city has a big heart, being perfectly placed to visit the mountains, and sea, and in fact a great touring base being in the center of Italy.
Penne has a university of fashion, architect and art colleges, a general hospital, and all the facilities that you'd expect from a living breathing town
