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.
