Abruzzo
Abruzzo is a region in the South part of Italy on the Adriatic Coats. Almost two-thirds of Abruzzo is mountainous. The remainder of the land consists of hills sloping to a narrow plain that runs for most of the 129 kilometre long Adriatic coastline. The Apennine mountain chain runs through the Abruzzo where it reaches its greatest elevations on the Italian peninsula, the highest peaks being Corno grande and Monte Amaro, Corno Grande in the Gran Sasso Natural Park is almost 3.000mt above sea level.
Abruzzo is divided into four provinces: Pescara, Teramo and Chieti on the coast, L'Aquila in the mountains.
