Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo, Italy
Abruzzo is possibly not the most well known of Italian regions. When you see images of the area though, you start to wonder just why it is not up there with the likes of Tuscany.
For some though, Abruzzo’s relative anonymity is a good thing. You might like to think of Abruzzo as being ‘off the beaten track’ Italy, and for some, this may appeal. Note too that skiing is possible in this Italian region, mainly in the area around Roccaraso, of which I have already written.
Today’s Images of Italy photo is of a lovely looking little Italian village which clings to a hillside in Abruzzo called Loreto Aprutino. The image is from a new blog called Abruzzo notes.

Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo, Italy
With thanks to the as yet anonymous author of Abruzzo Notes for having given me permission to use this lovely image of an enchanting Italian village.
The Abruzzo Notes blog is still evolving, but plenty of images of Abruzzo are available for browsing within the Abruzzo Note’s photo gallery.
I came across Abruzzo Notes because whoever is behind the site mentioned and linked to my November 2007 post on southern Italian ski resort Roccasraso. And when I saw a few of the photos there, I thought ‘I’d love to use a few of these!’.
Best of luck to Abruzzo Notes and I hope to see the site expand into a wealth of information about this lovely Italian region.

My husband (and my mother’s side of the family) is from Abruzzo (Celano, AQ) and I love it! We go quite often as we have lots and lots of family there. Have you been to *L’anglo d’Abruzzo* here in Milan? The food is excellent and very authentic, I feel like I’m eating at my mother in law’s! I’ll check out Abruzzo Notes right away.
L’angolo D’Abruzzo (da Giannino)
Via Rosolino Pilo, 20
(about a 15 minute walk from Porta Venezia M or minutes from Porta Venezia passante)
Prices are good too. I highly recommend the macaroni alla chittarra con ragu di cingiale and the lamb and roast potatoes! Wasn’t crazy about the house red though.
I always felt that Abruzzo Notes had a bit of an identity crisis, since it was living on aboutabruzzzo.com/wordpress! I have done a little housekeeping and the result is that the new name for Abruzzo Notes is About Abruzzo, and the new home is http://aboutabruzzo.com.
All the best,

Hoping to stay in Loreto Aprutino for a week in May/July this year and am looking for a house or apartment for 6-8 people. There is very little on websites advertising this area. Any suggestions?
Hi Dave,
I suggest you have a look here: http://www.blogfromitaly.com/medieval-tranquility-at-casa-dellamorino-abruzzo/
-not big enough for all of you though.
You might like to go have a look at Bodach’s site: http://aboutabruzzo.com/
He may be able to help you out, as he knows Loreto Aprutino well.
Best,
Alex
Well, I have Milanese ancestors, although I’d prefer to have Italian ancestors from Abruzzo! Preferably living relatives, actually:-) I envy you Joanne.
No, I have never been to *L’anglo d’Abruzzo*, but I shall now track it down and pay it a visit. Thanks for the tip!
Hope you like Abruzzo Notes – but do remember that its still evolving – even if I happen to know that the person behind the site is a big Abruzzo fan.
Best,
Alex
