From the dust jacket: (translated) TOURING CLUB ITALIANO THROUGH ITALY New Series ABRUZZO MOLISE Introduction by Ettore Paratore "Abruzzo, strong and gentle": it has become customary, following D'Annunzio's example, to define Abruzzo and Molise with antithetical yet dialectically united adjectives, according to a rhetorical device that nevertheless highlights the multiplicity and diversity of aspects offered by the two regions. This diversity and multiplicity are linked both to the nature of the territory and to the character and moods of the inhabitants, and reflect a long history of hard work, isolation, and fidelity to that severe, primordial sense of life typical of every pastoral and peasant civilization. This volume is dedicated to these lands, among the most secret and reserved, among the least known and visited in our country, and it recovers, image by image, the many different aspects of Abruzzo and Molise: the harsh and essential nature of the solitary mountain landscapes of Gran Sasso and Maiella, the poignant melancholy of the Molise plateaus, the religious severity of Abruzzese life, the refined craftsmanship that has survived through the centuries, and the truly unexpected richness and quality of the artistic heritage. It is the best tribute to two of the most interesting Italian regions and the most persuasive invitation to get to know them."
