Cellino Attanasio

Cellino Attanasio rises between the valleys of the Vomano and Piomba rivers, in a hilly landscape marked by ravine, historic cultivated fields, and a rich biodiversity concentrated within a relatively small area. Overlooking the hills of the province of Teramo, the town enjoys a panorama that stretches from the mountains to the Adriatic coast. The historic center preserves the city walls and the towers of the dukes of Acquaviva d’Aragona; one of these now houses the Municipal Antiquarium, dedicated to the archaeological heritage of the area. Beneath the streets, a network of caves, snow pits, and underground tunnels reveals the ancient structure of the subsoil. The identity of the village is expressed through the interplay of history, art, rural knowledge, and gastronomic traditions.
