Tips from the Community

Tomás Bryl
May 25, 2026, Passo Lanciano

The inhabitants of Abruzzo and the neighboring region of Lazio have their own local observation related to this Passo Lanciano. When the sun sets in the spring behind the mighty Majella massif, it quickly gets dark on the Abruzzo side (i.e., where Passo Lanciano is located) and dusk falls, while on the other side of the mountains, in Lazio, it is still bright daylight. Locals joke that at the same moment, one half of Italy goes to sleep, and the other goes for an aperitivo.

Very cute little village in Abruzzo

Built in the Middle Ages, this gateway is one of the main entrances to the ancient village. On one of its sides, you can read a verse by Gabriele D'Annunzio, which reads: "The city of stone, shone in the clear of May."

Panoramic view from the breathtaking hill, you go down to the sea and you can take a cycle path all along the seafront. Fantastic

Impressive gullies near Bucchianico. Site of Community Importance for the vastness and richness of the phenomena.

During the Second World War, a gunpowder depot blew up and seriously damaged the facility. A subsequent landslide destroyed further parts. The facility was restored in 2001. Now it looks almost a bit too new, but the next few centuries will change that again :-)
