pennapiedimonte2.jpg Pennapiedimonte is located on the southern part of the Maiella mountain and on the banks of the Avella river. This village is perched on a rocky spur in a landscaped marked by gorges, caves and perilous tracks. The town is shaped with the help of the natural rocky walls that surround the village. In the past, Pennapiedimonte had a lot of rock climbing facilities but lately they have been left behind.
