THE PICTURES OF PIAZZA GARIBALDI BROUGHT BACK HAPPY MEMORIES OF THE SIX WEEKS WE SPENT IN PACENTRO. WE WOULD GO TO SULMONA TO SHOP. LOTS OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THEN WE WOULD HOP ON THE BUS BACK TO PACENTRO, SULMONA IS A GREAT LITTLE TOWN, LOTS OF SHOPPING.

Laura,
About 30 years ago my family spent a week in Italy. For three days, we visited every magnificent site in Rome, then on to Florence, Milan, Assisi and Venice. However my wife’s fondest memory of that outstanding trip is my Dad bargaining for a leather pocketbook at this wonderful market, just outside his hometown of Pettorano!

We visited Sulmona in 2005. It is a beautiful town in Abbruzzo. We especially enjoyed the Cofetti with all the colors and artistic designs.

I visited my Father’s birthplace in Roseta delgli Abbruzzo and wish that I’d known about Sulmona then. I did stop in Aquila and saw the Gran Sasso on the way to Rome, but there was litle time for side trips, to my great consternation today. There is only one way to get to know anyplace and that’s to live there.

I have been wondering how the people of the region are doing after the earthquake last April. This gives me hope, but I fear not all villages are doing as well. Wish I could visit and help!! xoxo Italy

We also enjoyed markets in Montalcino and several other small hill towns. We were there in 2004 and 2007 and I am dreaming of another return trip in the next couple of years.
