A small Medieval village where time has stood still. It is located at 625 metres above sea level on the slopes of Mount Aquileio in the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. The original houses which form this village, and their exclusive use of stone, sets it apart from other centres in the province of Pescara.
With only 247 inhabitants, the village and surrounding area, rely on nearby larger towns including Castiglione a Casauria, Torre de’ Passeri, Pietranico and Cugnoli, for amenities.
