Pescasseroli is best known in Abruzzo for serving as the headquarters of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. Set among the Monti Marsicani, the town is closely associated with one of Italy’s oldest protected areas, established in 1922 to safeguard Apennine wildlife and woodland habitats. Beech forests, high pastures and mountain routes shape the surrounding territory, where the protected park is known for species including the Marsican brown bear and Apennine chamois. Pescasseroli was also the birthplace of philosopher and historian Benedetto Croce, whose house is marked in the town.
