Love the term “slow tourism.” I own ia couple of small shops in a small state and it is cute as a button and know one ones it exists except anyone doing state capitals and national parks. We have zero as in no tourism department in our city government and main attractions are closed on Sunday. Thanks for such interesting article.

Been thinking about visiting Italy for so long. The post is giving me major FOMO so I'll definitely try incorporate Abruzzo in the itinerary!

Love this write up thank you Laura. I have been to many other areas of Italy but never really considered Abruzzo - I am now considering it.

Hi! Italian here (from another region) and I totally agree. Abruzzo is beautiful and sadly underrated. Albeit, being out of mass tourism routes probably adds to its charm.

This is fantastic! I love learning more about Abruzzo. We spent a night here in 2019 at Gran Sasso. Stunning! We visited Ortona de Marsi too, and met some long lost relatives despite the language barrier.
