Giuliva Heritage co-founder talks romance and Abruzzo.
Abruzzo
Mare e montagne, Abruzzo is perfectly positioned in Italy’s centro at the heart of the Apennine mountains and stretching to the Adriatic coast with an incredible range of natural landscapes, beautiful medieval towns, fishing villages and unique UNESCO heritage sites. What also keeps us coming back for more is the creative gastronomy.
FUN FACTS

- Abruzzo is ancient. Well, neolithic - the earliest remains of civilisation dates back to 6,500BC.
- With more than half the region in national parks and protected reserves, Abruzzo is Italy’s greenest.
- L’Aquila’s Fontana delle 99 cannelle only has 93 spouts.
- 10th century Rocca Calscio castle is the epic and unforgettable setting for Ladyhawke.
- Sulmona has bragging rights as the hometown of Ovid, Ancient Rome’s wittiest poet.
