Fossa, a short way south of L'Aquila, is boasting S. Maria delle Grotte, the only Gothic example of those rural Abruzzo churches, with important frescoes. I liked the Romanesque churches even better - their sculpture is in a very distinct Abruzzo .... You might also find it interesting to know that Abruzzo has 19 villages included on the official "most beautiful villages of Italy" list. Abbateggio Anversa degli Abruzzi Bugnara Castel del Monte Castelli Citt? Sant'Angelo ...
