Abbruzzo is truly the best kept secret in Italy.
Visiting Italy has always been my dream. I am so happy to say that I finally did it. The treasures of my memories will last throughout my life time. To have walked through the villages and experienced the life style of these fine yet simple people made me realize that all of the "stuff" and the riches and the successes truly cannot compare to the simplicity, culture, the fine foods and the vino that the Italian people live.
