Overview

Enjoy your private trip from Rome with your English speaking driver to Sulmona, the town of confetti! Thanks to a long tradition and the presence of quality raw materials (mainly almonds), the town situated in the Valle Peligna is considered one of the major producers of this delicacy widely used during celebrations such as weddings, christenings, birthdays etc. Sulmona is definitely one of those centers in Abruzzo fascinating for its architecture and the atmosphere you breathe. The best thing is to walk by sneaking in the side streets, peeking through the courtyards, stopping to admire the ancient buildings, enjoying that feeling of being in a timeless place. Continue to Pacentro, a tiny medieval village famous to gave birth to the grandparents of the singer Madonna, to the paternal ones of Mike Pompeo, American secretary of state under the presidency of Donald Trump, and to many Italian emigrants to the US. A stop for lunch is included during the day ( fees at your own expense )

Sulmona

There is surely plenty to see while in Sulmona. We suggest to focus on the points below: - The Medieval aqueduct ,built in 1256 to transport water from the Gizio river to workshops in the city or to mills. It is an example of great medieval engineering for its structure and complexity. Composed of 21 pointed arches, it also includes a plaque with an epigraph. - Church of Santa Maria della Tomba located in Piazza del Plebiscito. Built in 1076 on top of a Roman temple, the Church has fascinating Romanesque and Gothic ornaments. The church bell tower was rearranged in the 1800s due to the damage caused by the 1706 earthquake and was embellished with a clock. Inside you can also admire the terracotta statue of the Madonna and Child. - The complex of the Santissima Annunziata is probably the most representative monument of the city of Sulmona and therefore deserves a thorough visit. - Confetti shops: Sulmona is well-known for the production of Confetti. There are many shops scattered around the historic center of the city where it is possible to taste and purchase this delicacy.
