Vasto
Vasto is a picturesque, little city on the Adriatic coast (opposite side of Rome). It was once ruled by the Spanish family of the d'Avalos, who have left to the town the imposing Palazzo d'Avalos with its Neapolitan garden overlooking the sea. Vasto is also known for being the birthplace of Gabriele Rossetti, father of the Pre Raphaelite Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the poetess Christina https://centrorossetti.it/. The hillside town is a gem set between the coast line-- with its stretched sandy beach and the rocky area of the Natural Reserve of Punta Aderci, part of the Park Costa dei Trabocchi https://www.parcocostadeitrabocchi.it/en/ -- and the mountains with three National Parks.
Vasto is also a fervent cultural city, with a season of classical and non classical musical performances organised by the Teatro Rossetti and other cultural institutions all year around http://www.teatrorossetti.it/it-it/home
There is plenty to visit and to enjoy!
