Squeezed between the high Apennine mountains, on the border between the Peligna and Sagittario valleys, stands Anversa degli Abruzzi, in the past a village of considerable strategic importance and a fiefdom of powerful noble families. In the highest part of the town the ruins of the castle, once the home of the Di Sangro family, guard the valley below. During the Renaissance, the Belprato family gave prestige to Antwerp, who during their lordship made the village flourish through the construction of various monuments, thanks also to the support of the Lombard masters who arrived in the area and to the creation of a literary circle of poets . In this period the well-known master potters called "pignatari" distinguished themselves, who with their works came to adorn Villa D’Este in Tivoli. The characteristic village was chosen by the great poet Gabriele D'Annunzio as the background of one of his tragedies: "The torch under the bushel" which sees the Di Sangro family as the protagonist. Art, history, tradition, nature and much more distinguish Anversa degli Abruzzi, one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy".
