Abruzzo's vibrant festival celebrations of San Giovanni (St John the Baptist) combine the contrasting purifying elements of fire and water, creating a spectacle that ignites the senses and captures the hearts of locals and visitors alike

The small Chieti town of San Giovanni Teatino’s re-enactment of the rites associated with their patron saint, John the Baptist, foraging for wild herbs and flowers to make the elixir, L'Acqua di San Giovanni illustrates perfectly one of the more colourful ways to learn about Abruzzo and a particular community

Each first Sunday of the month, Abruzzo and Italian state museums and archaeological sites open their doors for free as part of Domenica al Museo. This is a fabulous national wide initiative that allows you to explore and discover the history and treasures of Abruzzo.
