Abruzzo In The News

Here is a collection of articles about Abruzzo that have appeared in online newspapers and magazines. I’ve categorised them, and listed them chronologically (newest first).

They cover a wide range of topics, including relaxing, exploring, walking, skiing, photography, cooking, places to go, things to see and experience, food, wine, the L’Aquila earthquake and the subsequent efforts at recovery.

My posts, the pictures I’ve taken, posts by other bloggers who are passionate about Abruzzo and these newspaper articles give a wealth of material describing what a wonderful region of Italy Abruzzo truly is.
