on the Basin of Sora. It counts 1500 inhabitants: 800 in the chief town and 700 around in the shed fractions (Fork, Colledardo, Bagnoli, Vallefredda etc). Its origins go up again to the Middle Ages; its historical stories are tightly tied to those of Sora. Castled on the "peschium" (1) (the Civitella the Hill S.

(3) It deals with enchanting place, at times wild, attainable only afoot, after times and times of walk, and therefore uncontaminated, shelter from the civilization of the plastics and of the means of transport. Who loves then the fruits of the earth, it doesn't have that to equip him to pick up hypocrites, mushrooms, asparaguses, chicory, blackberries, berries of junipers savory, oregano, thyme serpillo... And also snails that, almost disappearances in the years 70, in these last times they start to reappear in discreet quantity here and there. Numerous they are the wild animals: permanent birds and of footsteps among which the mountainous coturnice and the birds of prey of every kind and dimension, roes, foxes, rates, hares, wild cats, martens, faine, skunks, weasels, squirrels, curly, porcupines, lizards, ramarri, snakes, vipers and at times wild boars, wolves and some bear that it escapes from the bordering one National park of Abruzzo.

This ridge also constitutes the border of the National Park of Abruzzo. 4) Pino and cypresses, extraneous elements to our natural environment, were introduced by the on its way reforestations in the Secondo Dopoguerra to fight the unemployment. However now that we have them, they competes to also the embellishment and the exploitation of our mountains.
