Abruzzo
Abruzzo () is a region of Italy, with an area of 10,763 square kms (4,156 sq mi) and a population of 1.3 million. Its western border lies 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 considered to be part of Southern Italy, although geographically it is more central. The Italian Statistical Authority (ISTAT) deems it to be part of Southern Italy because of Abruzzo's historic association with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.〔Paradosso evidenziato da Ignazio Silone, cfr. 〕
Abruzzo is known as "the greenest region in Europe" as one third of its territory, the largest in Europe,〔http://www.laquilacapitale.eu/it/abruzzo-regione-verde-europa.html〕 is set aside as national parks and protected nature reserves: there are three national parks, one regional park, and 38 protected nature reserves. These ensure the survival of 75% of Europe's living species including rare species, such as the small wading dotterel, golden eagle, Abruzzo chamois, Apennine wolf, and Marsican brown bear.〔(Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo Lazio e Molise | Natura | Fauna )〕 Abruzzo is also home to Calderone, Europe's southernmost glacier.〔(I parchi in Abruzzo )〕
Visiting nineteenth-century Italian diplomat and journalist Primo Levi said that “forte e gentile” (strong and gentle) best describes the beauty of the region and the character of its people. "Forte e gentile" has since become the motto of the region and its inhabitants.〔(Abruzzo: Forte e Gentile, definizione di Primo Levi, giornalista e diplomatico, nel sito di vastospa )〕
