Sant'Angelo del Pesco originates as far back as to year 1000. The original village settlement was probably composed of a small group of houses, a small convent and a church. It was granted municipal independence only in year 1816.
The north west section of the Sant'Angelo village district boundary is located on to the border with the nearby Abruzzo region, where the Apennine mountain ridge forms a natural, breathtaking backdrop.
The considerable bush and forest heritage is populated by an impressive number of silver firs often observed by international forestry institutes.
A short distance off from the village centre, the eye roves to isolated farmhouses and small clusters of buildings, strewn throughout the countryside.
The typical setting of the antique town centre, the doors of the houses and the churches all steeped in tradition, history and the simplicity of the people are the perfect setting for a serenely regenerating stroll.
