Altino

Altino is best known in Abruzzo for its sweet red pepper, a local variety celebrated each summer at the Festa del Peperone Dolce di Altino. This small hill town in the province of Chieti stands above the Aventino valley, with the Majella massif defining the wider setting. Strings of peppers are an enduring emblem of the festival, and the dried variety is valued in local cooking for its mild, fruity flavour rather than heat. Altino’s compact historic centre and agricultural surroundings reflect a part of Abruzzo where seasonal produce remains closely tied to community life.
