Le Piane: Impianti Campo di Giove - Maiella Park Experience

Le Piane sits on the slopes between the Morrone massif and the Maiella in Abruzzo, Italy, where the terrain rises above the Peligna Valley. This small locality lies close to Pacentro, a hill town known for the medieval Cantelmo-Caldora Castle, whose towers stand above its historic centre. The valley below connects communities around Sulmona, while the surrounding Apennine country quickly gives way from settled slopes to higher mountain ground.

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.
