The city is located in the center of the Peligna Valley, of the 'muddy' Greek; in prehistory there was a large lake but the rocks prevented the water from flowing out towards the sea, after several earthquakes this barrier collapsed leaving the ground muddy and fertile.

It seems that its history begins around the time of the destruction of Troy, but surely it was a Roman city. His best known son is undoubtedly the supreme Latin poet Publio Ovidio Nasone, who was born there in 43 BC. of a pretty girl who didn't want to know about it. He learned the magic to conquer it and used his magic faculties to obtain riches, subtracting them from the population to give to his beauty. One day the king stopped him and sent him into exile where Ovid recovered his infatuation.

In the Middle Ages, on the other hand, King Frederick II had many civil works built, including the beautiful Aqueduct. There are several Gothic arches left of this construction and the last pylon ends up in the Old Man's fountain, downtown.

The Palazzo dell'Annunziata, always built at that time, is one of the symbols of the city.
Sulmona is also a place of transhumance, a tradition that starts from the Bronze Age. This is the long journey of cattle and shepherds from the summer Abruzzo pastures to the Apulian pastures where the flocks overwinter. The reverse course was completed in May.

The Confetti di Sulmona are famous throughout Italy. Their production began in the 15th century and is still carried out in the traditional way. Small sweet treats, they are a symbol of important anniversaries such as marriage and baptism. In Sulmona the confetti are prepared with Avola almonds that are covered with a layer of sugar, without additives. The Cannellini di Sulmona are long and thin confetti with a heart of cinnamon.
