    Tips

    After passing the village of Pretoro in the direction of Passo Lanciano/Roccamontepiano, you will find the beautiful work made with Majella stone and symbol of the territory.
    The legend of "Lu Lope" of Pretoro recalls ancestral fears typical of mountain areas. Immersed in the Maielletta Mountain Community, Pretoro is part of the most beautiful villages in Italy not only for its historical and architectural peculiarities, but also for the intensity of its traditions. The solemn celebrations in honor of San Domenico Abate combine the sacredness of the religious festival with the profound poetry of popular beliefs. Every year, on the first Sunday of May, after the Holy Mass in the Church dedicated to the Saint, the first morning is always dedicated to the "serpari". The largest and most beautiful snakes found in the surroundings of Pretoro are carried in procession behind the statue of San Domenico and, subsequently, the serpents who have captured the three longest snakes are rewarded.
