Abbateggio celebrates San Martino with its Bacchanalia festa, when members of the community open their cellars of this sweet town for delicious food and Vino Novello served by local wineries.
A beautiful location to celebrate San Martino is the 'I Borghi più Belli d'Italia' village of Pietracamela sits under Prati di Tivo. The village's excellent restaurants have come together to create a polenta feast, wine and roasted chestnuts for just €10.
The sweet town of Barisciano celebrates Santa Caterina by hosting a bustling fair. Today in many countries Caterina is more commonly known today by the firework named in honour of her rather unpleasant death on a wheel, but local Gran Sasso farmers used to believe the milk that flowed from her neck nourished and protected their fields!
