Sulmona

Sulmona is a town in Abruzzo, to the east of Rome and was home for a couple of nights on our way north, up the east coast of Italy. We stayed at Sei Stelle B&B and it was a perfect location with a great host Davide. The town has a big event at Eastertime, the 'Running Madonna' and in July jousting in the Piazza Garibaldi which we looked into from our accommodation. The crests are for the different teams/districts for jousting. I think the towel animals were elephants with their trunks making a heart shape.

Our ceiling.

The mountains were still snow capped, but it was warmer than further south.

These views are from the terrace and this church was just beside the building.

Sulmona is known for a number of things and one is the aquaduct which runs through the town.

It borders one side of the big piazza and makes a good spot to sit near and watch the evening passagiata.

Part of it also formed the wall in the breakfast room. This section and original crest were found when the building was undergoing renovations.
