I only wish I could visit there more often. My parents are buried there and I should be getting back there soon. I am currently in need of some help, on piece I am writing. Is there anyone out here from Sulmona that might be able to help me out with something? On the road leading west out of Sulmona, to Introdacqua on the way to Pelino Confetti factory, there is road, a left hand turn, that leads to a small village that was once called Casa di Oime. I do not believe I have the spelling correct here. The village is no longer called that. Could someone please help me the correct spelling of the old village? And if possible, any information on the old village? My email address is vinodi@rcn.com Thank you, Vincenzo Hello Everyone,

It was very nice to read about my home town. I only wish I could visit there more often. My parents are buried there and I should be getting back there soon.

For fabulous gelati and cioccolati artiginale, visit Gelateria Di Silvio on the corner of Corso Ovidio and via Solimo. Massimo is very friendly, and speaks good English if your Italian isn't up to scratch. PS - I DID mention Ovid in my full article. GB - if you read these comments, please could you publish part 2 of my article?

The original item submitted was slightly longer and the title of "Sweet Sulmona" referred to the confetti produced there(also noted above), as well as the delicious gelato (some of the best we've come across in Italy). Unfortunately the limited space allowed for a note meant that the article above didn't quite connect with my title choice. Hopefully I will be have more items published soon.

It is off the autostrada that goes from Pescara to Rome and if memory serves, it is close to the road that takes to Sulmona. I was there in 1994 and drove by it in 2006. This is a beautiful area.

Good going, Don. Just realized that the someone who pointed out that Sulmona is Ovid’s hometown was my cousin. Good going, Don.

Glad someone pointed out that Ovid is its most noted son. In my childhood my father always spoke about the beautiful mountains of Sulmona but not until I saw them for myself did I realize how right he was. What a wonderful city. Can't wait to get back.

Carolyn and I visited there a few years ago. As we walked the friendly streets, passed the colorful confetti stores, and observed the affectionate interactions of the people, we felt embraced by the love, the warm and the affectionate of those blessed to live there. It seemed as if we had gone back a half century in time when teenagers allowed themselves to express their innocence along with their sophistication. Your writing evokes those same feelings.

My grandparents were from Sulmona and my wife and I had a great visit there about 15 years ago. At that time the yuppies from Rome were beginning to discover Sulmona and take advantage of its access to the National Park noted by Lynda.
