CARAPELLE CALVISIO - L’AQUILA PROVINCE
This delightful village is 910 metres above sea level and is located in the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. Carapelle Calvisio is surrounded by mountains and wooded hills, covered in oaks and pines, and is renowned for its truffles.
The village’s historic heart preserves, almost intact, its ancient urban structure of a medieval fortified village, with houses leaning against each other and separated be narrow alleys. One of the ramparts was subsequently used in the building of the parish church. Ancient noble residences emerged in the urban fabric and testify to a period of great wealth brought by sheep-rearing activities.
It is the smallest community in Abruzzo with less than 90 inhabitants, so main amenities can be found in L’Aquila, which is less than 40 minutes away, with many larger villages much closer.
