Casarza Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Casarza beach is stony with cliffs close to the shore and is among the most beautiful and evocative of the entire Costa dei Trabocchi for the sea among the most uncontaminated in Italy, not only in Abruzzo. The Via Verde Costa dei Trabocchi cycle / pedestrian path insists on this stretch, which is nearing completion, I hope by autumn 2021.

Trabocco Cungarelle

Highlight • Structure

The trabocco or travocco is an imposing construction made of Aleppo pine wood typical of the areas of the middle Adriatic, moldable, capable of withstanding the saltiness and the strong gusts of the mistral that beat the Adriatic. Consisting of a platform jutting out into the sea anchored to the rock by large trunks from which two or more long arms, called antennas, stretch out, suspended a few meters from the water, which support a huge tight-meshed network: the "balance". The different characterization of the coastline has defined the distinction of different typologies: this one, the Abruzzo one, is distinguished precisely by being positioned transversely with respect to the coast to which it is connected by walkways.

Monument to the Bather of Vasto

Highlight • Monument

This original work is a tribute to female beauty and represents a girl adjusting her bathing suit before diving into the waters of the Gulf of Vasto. The monument consists of a bronze statue placed on the rock of Scaramuzza and was built in 1979 by the Abruzzese sculptor Aldo D'Adamo. The statue is often mistakenly called "The Little Mermaid", perhaps due to its resemblance to the symbolic work of Copenhagen.
