Sulmona

Sulmona blends the rhythm of an Italian provincial town with the grandeur of the Apennines, reflecting its position in Abruzzo’s broad Peligna Valley between the Morrone massif and the Majella range. Known in Roman times as Sulmo, it is traditionally recognised as the birthplace of the poet Ovid. The city’s 13th-century aqueduct runs across Piazza Garibaldi, while the complex of Santissima Annunziata gives the historic centre one of its defining façades. Sulmona is also Italy’s best-known centre for confetti, sugar-coated almonds often arranged as elaborate floral displays.
