Abruzzo is located in central-southern Italy and the territory is mountainous (65%) and hilly (35%). The coasts are bathed to the east by the Adriatic Sea. In this region there are the highest peaks of the Apennines (except for Etna): the Gran Sasso d'Italia (2.914 m.) And La Maiella (2.795 m.). The main rivers descend towards the Adriatic and are the Aterno-Pescara and the Sangro, in addition to the Liri which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea.
