The Province of L'Aquila (Provincia dell'Aquila) is the largest, most mountainous and least densely populated province of the Abruzzo region of Southern Italy. It comprises about half the landmass of Abruzzo and occupies the western part of the region.

Its capital is the city of L'Aquila. The Province of L'Aquila includes the highest mountains of the Apennines (Gran Sasso, Maiella and Velino-Sirente), their highest peak, Corno Grande, the high plain of Campo Imperatore, and Europe's southernmost glacier, the Calderone. The province's major rivers are the Aterno-Pescara, Sangro, Liri, Salto, and the Turano; its major lakes are Lago Scanno and Lago Barrea. It once included the largest lake on the Italian peninsula, Lago Fucino, which was drained in one of the 19th century's largest engineering projects.

At the suggestion of our property manager, we visited this 8th century hidden gem. The chapel is kept locked and you must call the number on the gate and a guide will arrive in 5 minutes to take you into the chapel and onto the grounds to visit the other buildings. The artwork inside is amazing and colorful, and is in the local traditional art form of the area. The chapel is a work of art and expression and something you won't want to miss.
