    Mountain biking

    The story of Pupo Nunzio di Roio from October 1919 is one of the most poignant historical tragedies of the Abruzzo region. It symbolises the harsh and dangerous reality of the transumanza (the seasonal migration of livestock), which for centuries determined the economic and social life of this Italian mountain region.

    This place commemorates one of the most tragic events in the history of the transumanza, the age-old migration where shepherds drove their sheep every summer to the green pastures of Campo Imperatore and returned in the autumn to the warmer plains of Puglia.

    It is a group of statues, on one side a shepherd with two children, on the other a woman. The dramatic expression of their faces is framed by the majestic peaks of the Gran Sasso massif.
