Abruzzo (pronounced [aˈbruttso]) is a region of Central Italy, with an area of 10,763 square km (4,156 sq mi) and a population of 1.2 million. Its western border lies 80 km (50 mi) east of Rome. The region is divided into the four provinces of L'Aquila, Teramo, Pescara, and Chieti. Abruzzo borders the region of Marche to the north, Lazio to the west and south-west, Molise to the south-east, and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Geographically, Abruzzo is divided into a mountainous area to the west, which includes the Gran Sasso D'italia, and a coastal area to the east with beaches on the Adriatic sea. Abruzzo is partially considered culturally, linguistically, historically, and economically a region of Southern Italy, although geographically it may also be considered central. The Italian Statistical Authority (ISTAT) deems it to be part of Southern Italy, partially because of Abruzzo's historic association with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

We stopped to look up the grave of my dad’s first Cousin who was killed in the Battle of Ortona on Dec 20, 1943. I remembered him stopping off at our farm before he left for Europe. It was a very peaceful place, so well maintained, with a shelter containing a record of everyone buried there and a guest book for every visitor to sign. So many young Canadians gave their lives for us. Didn’t come up on our GPS but we were able to locate it with the help of locals.
