UNDISCOVERED VILLAGES
GENUINE LIFESTYLE
Entering in a village in Abruzzo means meeting the last remaining blacksmith, the woman still weaving bobbin lace outside her home in Scanno, or the shepherd offering you a slice of pecorino cheese. It's experiential tourism, where the visitor are friendly welcome.
In Abruzzo, genuineness isn't something we put on a brochure, it’s the flour on a grandmother’s hands as she rolls out maccheroni alla chitarra. It’s the smell of woodsmoke in the air of Scanno and the call of the shepherds moving their flocks along the ancient "tratturi".

Forget museums locked within four walls. In Abruzzo, art can be felt in the piazzas, read on the façades of Romanesque churches, and touched firsthand in artisan workshops.
Abruzzo is a culture not to be flaunted, but to be experienced. It is the beauty of authenticity, where each village is a chapter in a book yet to be discovered.
