Ma se volete immergervi nel fascino di una storia ancora poco conosciuta, non potete non fare un salto tra Capestrano e Ofena, dove di recente sono stati portati alla luce i resti dell’antica Aufinum, la città in cui è stato ritrovato il celebre guerriero di Capestrano, simbolo della regione Abruzzo: il personaggio raffigurato, Nevio Pompuledio, armato di spada e con indosso un cappello, fu uno degli ultimi re d’Abruzzo.

An unmissable archaeological park is the Amiternum, an ancient Roman city where the historic Sallust was born. Here you can admire the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre, a villa with mosaics and frescoes and the foundations of an aqueduct. It is certainly the right place for a Spring holiday set in the peace of this uncontaminated nature. If, however you would like to discover a less known history, all you have to do is go to Capestrano and Ofena, where the remains of the ancient city of Aufinium have been discovered and where the famous warrior of Capestrano, the symbol of the Abruzzo region, has been found. The figure is of Nevio Pompuledio, one of the last kings of Abruzzo, armed with his sword and with a hat on his head.
