カニャーノ・アミテルノのおすすめツーリングルート

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 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.
