CASTELLI E LE CERAMICHE DI CASTELLI

about 74 Km from Pineto, Located at the foot of Monte Camicia, in the Gran Sasso- Moni delle Laga Park, Castelli is a village surrounded by an agricultural landscape and clayey hills. It is just the presence of clay, along with water and the wood (for ovens) that brought a community of Benedictine monks, perhaps nine or ten centuries ago, to begin production of ceramics. In the village there are many shops, where many objects of this precious material are still produced and sold today. To learn more visit http://www.abruzzoverdeblu.it/?id=76
