Penne

Among the towns of Abruzzo, Penne stands out for its historic centre built largely in warm-toned brick, a material so characteristic that it is often called the “city of brick.” Perched on hills between the Tavo and Fino river valleys, it looks across an inland landscape leading from the Adriatic foothills toward the Gran Sasso massif. Penne began as the ancient Vestinian settlement of Pinna and retains a dense old quarter of lanes, arches and civic buildings. The Cathedral of San Massimo is among its principal monuments, while the nearby Lago di Penne nature reserve adds wetlands to the town’s setting.
