Pescara Culture and Traditions
- Pescara is the largest Abruzzese city and one of the significant commercial and tourist centres along the Adriatic coast.
- It is also the birthplace of Gabriele D'Annunzio, one of the most important Italian poets of the twentieth century, and the location of the 2009 Mediterranean Games.
- Pescara first appeared in 12th-century documents, and it most likely referred to a small centre built after the invasions of the ancient Roman Aternum site near the Aterno-Pescara river's estuary.
- Aternum began as a Marrucini and Peligni port before becoming the region's main port during Roman times.
- The Lombards, however, sacked and destroyed it in the sixth century AD. In the Middle Ages, two towns arose on opposite banks of the Pescara river: Pescara in the province of Chieti to the south and Castellammare Adriatico in the province of Teramo to the north.

#Food
- Maccheroni alla molinara is a type of Italian pasta that originated in Teramo and Pescara, Abruzzo.
- The pasta noodles are long and loopy, always rolled and shaped by hand.
- They're made with tepid water, eggs, and durum wheat flour. Expertly trained hands shape the pasta into a long noodle that can be cut into smaller pieces or left whole, resulting in a massive noodle up to 10 metres long.
- Maccheroni alla molinara is typically served with an Abruzzese ragù once cooked.
- The name translates to "miller's wife's pasta," It is thought to have originated in the mid-14th century when this pasta variety was presented to King Robert of Naples.

- This tripe dish is finished with pecorino and served piping hot.
Fashion
#Fashion
- One of the most appealing aspects of Pescara is its well-managed traffic.
- Some major roads and tunnels take motorised vehicles right into the heart of town, but many smaller streets are only for pedestrians.
- This is a marvel in a country where you usually have to jump for your life when you hear the sound of a scooter or a car approaching.
- A large pedestrian area in Pescara is bounded by Corso Umberto I, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, and Via Nicola Fabrizi.
- These streets are home to the best fashion and food stores, as well as a plethora of charming cafes and bars serving coffee and parrozzo or a refreshing Spritz with an array of stuzzichini.
- Treats that would be considered 'hygge' in Denmark.

- The Pescara Springs Nature Reserve, founded in 1986, protects a large spring area with numerous springs of water flowing directly from the Campo Imperatore plateau.
- Given that the Abruzzo river's source system is one of the largest and most productive in the entire interregional area, the springs of the Pescara river constitute an essential Nature Reserve for central Italy.
- The great diversity of the landscapes also creates numerous fascinating landscape views, with areas that host a wide range of animal and plant species.
- Underwater landscape and a thousand creeks that flow into a clear and crystalline body of water with a variety of colours: numerous sub-river springs that gush copiously on the bottom give new and continuous life to this basin, which, with a constant total flow of 7000 l / s, is one of the most crucial spring systems in central northern Italy.
