Rocca San Giovanni: the village and its wonders

Rocca San Giovanni beach

Rocca San Giovanni, which has been certified as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is a delightful medieval town located in Abruzzo in the province of Chieti; this small town, which extends for about twenty square kilometers, is perched on a & ; #39; height of about one hundred and sixty meters above sea level and is, among other things, a renowned seaside resort. It's easy to fall in love with it at first sight: harvest and characteristic this village is extremely suggestive and picturesque. Sea, hill and historic center are the main ingredients that make Rocca San Giovanni a coveted tourist destination. First let's see how to get there: Driving along the A14 (Adriatic motorway) coming from the North follow the direction & lt; Strong>Ancona and take the Val di Sangro exit; then follow the signs for Fossacesia and finally follow the provincial road 81 to Rocca San Giovanni; if come from the south on the Adriatic, follow the direction of Pescara; for the rest the indications are equivalent. Below we propose a valid itinerary to best visit Rocca San Giovanni. We suggest spending a day visiting the historic center. Surrounded by vineyards, orange groves and olive groves, the town still retains its ancient medieval walls, built in the aftermath of the looting of the Normans. The most important remains of this defensive structure, made with pebbles and stones of the area and almost totally destroyed by the earthquake of 1626, are located at the height of Via Abate Odorisio and culminate with the Filippini tower. A visit to the church of St. Matthew the Apostle is a must, which is located in Piazza degli Eroi: realized in Romanesque style, it consists of three naves divided by pylons that support five arches in double ring. The facade of the church, which dates back to the late twenties of the last century and is made of sandstone blocks, has an arched central portal and is devoid of any ornament . Inside the church you can admire the statue of Our Lady of Graces, a Byzantine canvas of the fourteenth century depicting the Madonna and Child Jesus and the beautiful fresco “The Last Supper” by the Molise painter Amedeo Trivisonno (1904-1995). Saint Matthew the Apostle recalls, even if in a small size, the structure of the abbey of San Giovanni in Venere, located in the nearby Abruzzo municipality of Fossacesia. Also of great interest is the Town Hall, started in the nineteenth century and rebuilt in 1926; it & egrave; characterized by a large porch, formed by arches with a semicircle vault. Passing an internal staircase leads to the famous ceremonies room. The board room is periodically set up for the exhibition of sculptures, paintings and engravings of great artistic interest. Also worth mentioning is the presence in Rocca San Giovanni of a cultural center, located in Via Western near a palace nobleman of the last century that has been re-adapted to host exhibitions, exhibitions and any important cultural event. The structure, dedicated to the Abruzzo artist Arturo Colizzi, was strongly desired by the Administration and the citizens to act as a cultural and social glue, hosting conferences and conferences and returning to Rocca San Giovanni its former splendors. It is also worth visiting the famous Casino Murri, an ancient farmhouse built between the eighteenth and the nineteenth century and that was recently refurbished. Featuring a rectangular plan, the casino also has a private chapel, probably built later than the building of the main structure. A wide two-ramp staircase leads to the first floor. To spend a pleasant evening we recommend tasting the typical products, at the numerous gastronomic places in the village. Do not miss the famous palazzole, baked fish appetizer made with anchovies (or instead of sardines), bread crumb, garlic, parsley and oil; it is advisable to accompany them with a good glass of local wine. After all, the village of Rocca San Giovanni is also known as a city of wine, being there are two famous wineries that produce Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo doc. Also important is the production of extra virgin olive oil, which is characterized by its fruity flavor and the characteristic golden green color.

Visit Pescara with the eyes of Gabriele D'Annunzio

The old city

Gabriele D'Annunzio was born on March 12, 1896 in the beautiful Pescara; he was a poet and one of the most important intellectuals in Italy, and not only of the century. An Eclectic and controversial personality, he embodied the ideal of the decadent, narcissistic, hedonistic, sensual, and superhuman artist, living a life over the top. His birthplace is now a museum on Corso Manthonè in the Pescara area that still has retained its characteristics as a small fishing village. The house consists of nine halls, containing antique furniture and objects of the writer and his family. Interesting are the educational panels that report news on the poet's family, enriched by references to literature and photography. In the house of the poet the countries and places of Abruzzo that D'Annunzio has treated in his literary works and the artists who have been linked with feelings of deep friendship, as the painter Francesco Paolo Michetti and components of the Cenacle of Francavilla, are also illustrated. Each room is illustrated with a caption that repeats those pieces of "Night" in which the poet recalls with words full of feeling the environments, the objects and people dear to him. Also in Pescara, do not miss a visit to Government House, which houses "The Daughter of Jorio”, a grand canvas by Francesco Paolo Michetti, which inspired the eponymous play by D'Annunzio. Walking around it is impossible not to notice the artistic beauty that inspired the poet such as the Cathedral of St. Cetteo, built in the 1930s, in addition to the sacred relics of the saint, an invaluable work of Guercino of the XVII century, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, erected in the eighteenth century neoclassical style, which preserves valuable works of local artists. Visit Francavilla to cross the Pinewood remembered by D’Annunzio: next to the shore by fishing boats crossing the green Adriatic, on the beach which once went by the herds that migrate seasonally to Puglia (described in the poem September). Impossible not to mention the old and beautiful sea port of Pescara, starting from the city centre with its coast, a succession of stunning beaches overlooking the sea, which is blue as the sky with which merges horizon.

A wonderful holiday in Punta Penna in Abruzzo

Vasto Marina

Along the 18 km of coastline that belong to the territory of Vasto, stands a promontory that ends in crown, almost as if you are self-elected ruler of undisputed beauty. Actually Punta Penna and its promontory has been included among the ten most beautiful beaches in Italy, not only for the crystal clear sea that turns into deep blue on the horizon, but also for the beach, soft like flour and pastel gilding, typical of timeless places. It is a beautiful wild and in some places even primitive, made of Mediterranean dunes that degrade to the Regional Nature Reserve of Punta Aderci. A weekend in this paradise, guarded and kept away from mass tourism, could become an interesting alternative for lovers of medieval history and culture. The 8 km that separate Punta Penna from Vasto, are worth the route for a mandatory visit to the artistic wonders of this fascinating municipality without neglecting the nature trails marked within the Aderci Reserve. The silence and quiet that the beach offers will end an unforgettable three days out of town.
1st Day As soon as you arrive and found accommodation in one of the accommodation facilities scattered along the coast or in the village in Vasto, you can start the first tour to discover the historical and artistic beauties of the area. A visit is a must to visit Vasto: the municipality houses the splendid Cathedral of St. Joseph, built around the mid-1200 as evidenced by the date shown on the lunette of the portal. Over the years it was also used as a monastic building and then became a Cathedral named after Saint Joseph in honor of Giuseppe Napoleon Bonaparte. The two-color of the stone inside the Cathedral and its structure with a single nave, as well as the frescoes in Gothic style, were inserted later, during a restoration in the 20s of the 20th century. Also in the second half of the '200 dates back to the first construction of Santa Maria Maggiore, beautiful with the bell tower once used as a defensive bastion, it is a splendid example of Romanesque art. The interior preserves examples of paintings from the Titian's school. If you are in Vasto, you can't miss a walk to the Palazzo d'Avalos, an admirable sixteenth-century building, surrounded by a precious Neapolitan garden whose beauty has been brought back to light. The Palace now houses the Civic Museums with an adjoining a very rich Art Gallery. Going up on the terrace of the Palace you have the splendid panorama of the entire Gulf of Vasto. The city symbol, however, remains the Caldoresco castle, which stands on an ancient Roman amphitheater. The defensive walls are reinforced by great ramparts, and by defensive towers. In the 19th century, new residential buildings were added by the Avalos family, which turned the fortress into a complex prestigious home. Vasto gave birth to the poet Rossetti, and his house, declared a national monument, can be visited and constitutes the seat of the Municipal Library. The tour in the village can only end from the view of the Amblingh loggia, a loggia overlooking the walls of rocks and bricks that collects in a single panorama the Gulf of Vasto, the islands Tremiti, the offshoots of the Gargano and the hills of Molise.
The long tour in Vasto will certainly excite your appetite: Vasto is a renowned seaside resort, surely you can choose one of the many clubs, including restaurants, trattorias, taverns or pizzerias where you can take a taste of the taste of the Abruzzo sea. For those who want to make an aperitif first, you can stop in a lounge bar or in a wine shop: a good glass of wine and a satisfying cutting board of cold cuts and cheeses typical of Abruzzo will satisfy the the most refined palates.
Day 2 The second day can be dedicated completely to the sea and nature. Sea and breathtaking landscapes are the peculiar feature of the area. Punta Penna is easily accessible by car, but you can also choose to take a bus, several lines lead to the charming seaside resort. Punta Penna has an extension of 2 square km, and is the last segment of the Alderci Nature Reserve. The beach of Punta Penna starts from the railway station of the Port of Vasto. Beach of ancient beauty, starting from the sea of a blue that fades starting from the intense blue on the horizon, to the transparencies on the shore. The seabed is sandy, steep as you enter the water populated by coral algae where they found mother-porarian, celenterary and encrusting sponges. The conformation of the backdrop offers the possibility of various water sports in complete safety for young and old. Near the cliff that encloses the bay can be seen numerous mussels, clams, cannolicles, combs. On the shore the runner crab will visit, who will escape from the sight of the man. The sand is fine, of a pale golden protected by wonderful dunes dotted with species of flora often even rare.
The maritime Ravastrello, the Salsola and the Nappola protect Euphorbia from the action of the sea but above all the Ginestrino of the beaches, the tail of Hare and the Silene. On the cliff there are unique species such as the Carrot of the Cliffs and the Lemon Virgato. From the beach it's not difficult to see the sea brother, or the grey heron, the little light, or the kingfisher. There are also numerous birds of prey that rise in flight passing from the beach: the swamp hawk or the lesser harrier, the sparrower or the pecchiaiolo hawk. Admiring the unspoilt nature of Punta Penna, time will pass quickly but for those who want it will be interesting to continue their visit to the Reserve. which extends to the mouth of the river Sinello.
The hinterland has centuries-old olive trees but it is in Punta Aderci that you can admire the most beautiful seaweed in the Mediterranean: the Halymenia red floresia. Pebbly beaches are those of the Libertini and Mottagrossa. After breathing nature deeply, you can go up with a stop at the Punta Penna lighthouse, the second Italian lighthouse by height, after that of Genoa. It is a two-storey building that contains the homes of the respective families of the two guardians, offices and from the first floor the real lighthouse, 70 meters high. The top can be reached by a spiral staircase that has 307 steps. Next to the lighthouse, the small church of Santa Maria di Pennaluce that brings back to the early Middle Ages, as shown by the ogival entrance and the exposed stone masonry that covers it.
The evening will be full of a good dinner. Seasonal products, always very fresh fish freshly caught from the Adriatic Sea, which like a mother offers her children the best fruits, dinner can be enjoyed in one of the many outdoor venues with sea view, relaxing at the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. First courses with seafood or succulent brodetti alla vastese and fish soups, fried and roasted the choice will be awkward and the palate will thank you. You can end the evening at a nightclub or in one of the venues with outdoor music, in the village as well as outside the door. For romantics, a long walk on the seafront is recommended, with the moon wobbling over the water and the view of the coast of overflows in the distance will not seem to be in Abruzzo, nor in Italy, but in a far and Caribbean place where stilts, the ancient buildings planted in the water, are places still inhabited.
