Pizzoli is a picturesque town nestled in the upper Aterno Valley, harmoniously nestled between the hills of L'Aquila and the slopes of the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. Dominated by the imposing silhouette of Dragonetti de Torres Castle, which towers over the town with its Renaissance elegance, the village offers a charming mix of historic alleys and noble architecture, surrounded by lush nature.

The Spufa Refuge is a small, rustic mountain outpost located in the heart of the Peligna Valley, on the slopes of the Morrone massif and a short distance from the village of Bagnaturo. Nestled in a clearing surrounded by thick woods, it is a key stopping point for those hiking the trails to the highest peaks, offering essential shelter and an enchanting view that encompasses the entire valley below in an atmosphere of profound mountain tranquility.

The Amiternum amphitheater is a solemn testament to Abruzzo's glorious Roman past, located on the San Vittorino plain a few kilometers from L'Aquila. Built in the 1st century AD on the edge of the ancient Sabine city, it still retains its imposing elliptical structure with two tiers of arches that once accommodated up to six thousand spectators. Today, it offers a striking blend of the austere monumentality of ancient brickwork and the rural tranquility of the Aterno Valley.

At this site, you can see the ancient ruins of Amiternum, a city founded by the Sabines. Also in the area, in addition to the theater, amphitheater, and remains of a domus, you can see the remains of the ancient Via Cecilia, which connected Rome with the Abruzzo colonies in the present-day province of Teramo.

A border crossing in the province of L'Aquila located 1,300 meters above sea level to cross the Gran Sasso mountain range via state road 80, which connects the provinces of Teramo and L'Aquila.
