Lovers of the cold, I found the right place for you: pescasseroli, the country that knows no summer, in the heart of Marsicani Mountains, at 1167 meters above sea level. Even in the months of July and August, when the inhabitants of almost all Italian cities gasped for 35-40 ° C in the shade, in Pescasseroli it was difficult to walk around the streets of the town without a jacket. There are, normally, at least ten degrees of difference compared to our cities.
At the end of July, in the afternoon, having left Caserta with 36 ° C, a trader from Pescasseroli returned home and found 23 ° C there. On 1 September this year, the 18 ° C of Pescasseroli contrasted with the 28 ° C of the Casertano. Not to mention the winter months. To think that last winter, the country was isolated for fifteen days due to heavy snowfall. Walking through the streets of the historic center you will see photographs of snow-covered landscapes, testifying to the almost three meters of snow that fell that reached the balconies on the first floor of the various houses and, obviously, blocked the doors and windows on the ground floor. Nobody could reach and nobody could leave Pescasseroli in those days, despite the salt spreaders and the snowploughs.
Furthermore, for winter sports lovers, not far from the town, there is a ski resort with five lifts, three refreshment points and 14 ski slopes. In short, Pescasseroli is the ideal place for those who suffer from the heat in summer and for those who love the cold in winter.
Ah, I forgot! Did you know that Benedetto Croce, a well-known philosopher, was born in Pescasseroli, in the rooms of Palazzo Sipari, one of the oldest buildings in the city?
