Why not choosing a very rare and unexpectedly surprising frame for your wedding venue? Abruzzo, this little known region, unspoiled and away from the traditional tourist routes displays a scenic beauty in a combination of spectacular natural environments, such as bridged gorges, tunnels and canyons, only surrounded by towering and often snow covered mountain peaks. The stunning mountain scenery exceeds your expectations: on the way to the Maiella and the Gran Sasso medieval villages clinging to their rugged mountain perches stand out; the western area of the National park and the wide rocky amphitheatres near Sulmona and L’Aquila show rare geological formations rich with grottoes and “doline”; local agriturismo centres showcase their outstanding locally produced cheeses, wines, olives; religious sanctuaries are tokens of a deep rooted devotion, and among the canyons and the bending, winding roads, a sudden view of the elegant beaches on the coast, which is rocky and steeple, but which intact charm is only one of the many reasons for a visit L’Aquila, the chief town, has cherished its historical past while taking on its role of a modern centre. The tie to medieval times and past generations is unmistakably honoured and preserved, whereas new trends, styles and cultures of today have found an adequate placing.
