Despite being close to Rome, Abruzzo <\/strong><\/em>is one of the least known and least populated regions of Italy. Among its excursions are the Val di Rose, the Prati di Tivo<\/strong>and a promotion to Corno Grande<\/strong>The highest point of the Apennines in peninsular Italy. <\/p>

Abruzzo is a wild and beautiful region of Italy, a spectacular and harmonious mix of snow-capped mountains, grassy plains and wooded canyons; of hillside olive groves, vineyards and long sandy beaches. Its stunning natural surroundings are protected in three national parks, one regional park and many smaller reserves; the Maiella and Gran Sasso national parks and the Sirente-Velino regional park. Thousands of years of history are reflected in a multitude of abandoned castles, hilltop villages and ancient farms; religious dedication echoes in splendid abbeys, silent churches and remote hermitages. <\/p>
