Vineyards and view of Campoletizia

PIETRANTICA

Majella National Park preserves some of Abruzzo’s most inspiring mountain scenery. Small stone hamlets pepper the jagged peaks and valleys of a majestic and wild land of raw natural beauty. Shepherds tending their flocks dot the landscape, sharing the park with bears, wolves, deer, and chamois.

Atop a treeless plain in the small village of Decontra, the Sanelli family has forged a living farming their land for generations. Their agriturismo, Pietrantica, run by husband and wife Camillo and Marisa, offers a haven of unspoiled beauty. Camillo’s father, Paolino, is a real-life example of the archetypal Abruzzese mountain shepherd. Spry and possessing a boyish grin, he speaks in a soft and soothing tone full of wisdom and wit. His poetic stories about Abruzzo’s past and what life was like in the early 1900s have been documented in books, magazines, and television, as Paolino has become a legend and a voice for preserving Majella’s culture.
