Pescasseroli: Istituto Comprensivo Di Scuola Materna Elementare E Media B.Croce - Comune Di Pescasseroli
The Monti Marsicani define the setting of Pescasseroli — wooded slopes enclose this compact town in the upper Sangro valley and give it a distinctly Apennine character. Pescasseroli lies within the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, created in 1922 and among Italy’s oldest national parks. Its streets bring together tiled-roof houses, municipal services and the Istituto Comprensivo B. Croce, the local school named for philosopher Benedetto Croce, who was born here in 1866. The town has long served as a base for exploring the park’s forests and mountain terrain while remaining a working community at the centre of its valley.

Abruzzo occupies a mountainous stretch between the central Apennines and the Adriatic Sea in Italy. Much of its identity comes from protected uplands: the Gran Sasso massif includes Corno Grande, at 2,912 metres the highest summit of the Apennines, while the Majella rises farther south. Forest, high pastures and valleys descend towards a long Adriatic coast. L’Aquila, the regional capital, retains its medieval core, and Abruzzo’s food culture is noted for saffron from the Navelli plateau and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
