Scanno: Passo Godi - Abruzzo, Italia: Altopiano di Passo Godi 1630 m
Built around the road that crosses this mountain saddle, Passo Godi grew into a high-altitude link between Scanno and the uplands of Abruzzo. At 1,562 metres, the pass lies beside broad grazing ground below Monte Serra Rocca Chiarano, whose summit reaches 2,262 metres. It forms part of the Apennine landscape associated with the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, where beech woods, open pasture and limestone slopes meet. The route follows an old pastoral geography shaped by transhumance, the seasonal movement of sheep across Abruzzo. Nearby Scanno is known for its historic centre and its tradition of gold filigree jewellery.

Among the towns of Abruzzo, Scanno stands out for its stone-built historic centre and close connection to Lake Scanno in the Sagittario Valley. Narrow lanes climb between houses with arched doorways, small squares and churches, preserving the compact form of an Apennine mountain settlement. The lake, one of Abruzzo’s largest natural lakes, lies just below the town amid wooded slopes. Scanno is also associated with Abruzzese gold filigree, especially the traditional presentosa pendant, and its historic streets have long attracted photographers.

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.
