Sulmona:
City of Love
| |
...and I ( you know, o Giulia ), I missed
love: I had a profound and incoercible desire
to love: I loved to love, as Saint Augustine
said...
from " Lettere a Giulia " by Giuseppe
Capograssi
-Why is Sulmona the City of Love?
Sulmona is the birthplace of Ovidio, and Ovidio
is the poet of love. The cantor who, in his
life, always celebrated this sentiment, interpreting
it in its every possible declension.
This loving approach to all things in life is
in very soul of Sulmona, which has become the
worldwide capital of the “confetto”:
the confection that has always accompanied those
special moments of love.
Sulmona is at the centre of the network of
natural Parks of Abruzzo, “Europe’s
Green Region”: she is lovingly ensconced
and sweetly caressed by a luxuriant nature.
Sulmona is the place where Saint Peter of the
Morrone, Pope Celestine V, founded the Order
of the Celestines which would spread Christian
love, forgiveness and solidarity throughout
the world. In the short, her history, nature,
traditions and all that she has always stood
for make “the City of Love” a natural
and fitting title.

The
Idea
“Sulmona, City of Love” is the
expression of an idea promoted by the ARS
association. Beginning whit the obvious
tie between Sulmona and the concept of Love,
it brings one to identify this city as the
capital of Love , in all its forms. Thus,
every tipe of love, from that which is shared
with another human being, to that wh ich
we feel for nature, for food, for life itself…A
modern and universal concept of love!
This initiative promotes such a concept
to enrich and help this city to grow,
bringing to it an excellent development
opportunity. The inextricable link it
creates , between Sulmona and the concept
of Love, becomes a versatile tool to promote
Sulmona’s identity to the world.
“Sulmona City of Love” thus
becomes a true hallmark, available to
those wishing to use it, bringing them
to consider it a personal and exclusive
tool to be used to maximize the potential
of the products most rapresentative of
this land , both in Italy and abroad,
offering the city vast and extended windows
of opportunity.
