I live in Abruzzo: this is a district not much populated (only 1.500.000 peoples) whit beach and mountains (The Grans Sasso d'Italia is the higer mountain of Centre Italy. The region in not expensive and more of peoples lives in the most important town (Pescara, on the sea, it's a town very touristic, glamour, probabilly the most important and expensive town in the district. On summer it's full of peoples, and pollution... night and morning very noises and interesting, but also dirty and it's have all the problem of a big town (more of 125.000 peoples that on summer arrive until 250.000). L'Aquila is the capital of the district Abruzzo, but after Heartquake it's a ghost town, in the middle of the mountains, If you like live in small town Abruzzo is full of this village, the prices are more cheap than on the town, and the nature is very good, and full of life. I live in Chieti, it's a quiet town whit two archeologica museum and an university, but the center is very bored, Chieti Scalo it's the area of University, Train Station and more Commercial Centres, the quality of life is not very good, but Pescara is only at 18 km. The coast of Abruzzo it's very expensive from Pescara until the north (Montesilvano, Giulianova, Pineto ecc) If you go until Vasto, the coas it's wilder after Francavilla al Mare. The weather on summer are hot and damp on the coast, and cold and windy on winter, on mountain the summer is more fresh and dry whit occasinally rains, on winter it's very cold and frozen on night, whit more snow on the mountains (Maiella and GranSasso)
