Hiking
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II has been the most important street in L'Aquila since the Middle Ages. Originally, it was called Strada del Corso, with 'corso' literally meaning 'racecourse'. This is where the famous Palio horse races, festive parades, and religious processions once took place.
Together with Corso Principe Umberto, this street forms the heart of the city, according to the classic Roman street plan with a north-south axis (Cardo) and an east-west axis (Decumanus). Their intersection is known as Quattro Cantoni – the Four Corners.
