An ideal place for a short but rewarding walk outside the town center. The trail is lit even in the evening.

Monte Pettino is a peak in L'Aquila, Province of L'Aquila and has a land elevation of 1147 metres. Monte Pettino is close to Cansatessa and Pettino. The view of the surrounding mountains is great from here and the ascent is neither particularly long nor far.

The path takes its name in memory of the nine young people (17-21 years old) who on 23 September 1943, in Casermette, were killed by a platoon of fascists and Nazis. The path is surrounded by nature and has a compact dirt bottom.
