EXPLORE

San Vito Chietino

San Vito Chietino is a little hill that extends up to the sea, facing the Adriatico on the trabocchi’s coast where you can observe a vast horizon which goes from the sea to the Appennini. Gabriele D’Annunzio has set here his famous novel “Trionfo della morte”, defining this city the “broom’s town”.

A place of great impact is the Belvedere Guglielmo Marconi, a panoramic point, a terrace facing the sea with the trabocchi on one side and the Majella and the Gran Sasso on the other one. On the other hand, not too far from the marina of San Vito, you can find the D’Annunziano hermitage, which was the amorous and leterary refuge for Gabriele D’Annunzio who stayed there during the 1899 summer.

Now it is used as the Gabriele D’Annunzio museum house and it can be visited on request.
