Tips from the Community

September 18, 2025, Chiesa della Madonna Fore

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

Nice dirt path that leads from L'Aquila to Collebrincioni. The walk begins at the Madonna Fore area. It is a simple itinerary also suitable for families. Since 2014 it has been dedicated to the nine young people from L'Aquila who sacrificed themselves in the name of freedom, during the period of the fight against Nazi-fascism.

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.
