Day trip from Rome: Sulmona, the city of confetti, and Pacentro – private tour
Enjoy your private trip from Rome with your English-speaking driver to Sulmona, the city of confetti! Thanks to a long-standing tradition and the availability of high-quality raw materials, mainly almonds, the city in the Valle Peligna is considered one of the main producers of this delicacy, which is often used at celebrations such as weddings, christenings, birthdays, and more. Sulmona is definitely one of those towns in Abruzzo that captivates visitors with its architecture and the atmosphere you can experience there. The best way to explore it is to wander through the side streets, peek into the courtyards, stop to admire the old buildings, and enjoy the feeling of being in a timeless place. Continue to Pacentro, a tiny medieval village where the grandparents of the singer Madonna were born, as were the paternal grandparents of Mike Pompeo, the American Secretary of State during Donald Trump’s presidency, along with many Italian emigrants to the United States. A lunch break is included during the day (fees at your own expense).
