La Visceglia Abruzzo helps you to (re)discover a land full of wonders

The Social Promotion Association “La Visceglia Abruzzo” was founded in 2023 thanks to the common passion for Roots Tourism intended as an innovative tool aimed at promoting Abruzzo region to the rest of the world.

Roots tourism and genealogical research in Abruzzo

Combining love for tradition and the drive towards innovation, the common goal has always been to study tourist formulas in step with the times that can adapt to the territory from the point of view of territorial morphology, historical and socio-cultural perspective, embracing sustainability and inclusivity standards, far from the usual hit-and-run tourism methods, preferring slow tourism and promoting innovative and authentic destinations, leveraging the great natural heritage and the multitude of wonderful villages that dot the region, from the hinterland to the coast.

This land of strong emigration is ready to welcome over 1 million Abruzzesi from all over the world, to experience and savor it, step by step, rediscovering their origins. Hence the chosen name “la visceglia,” a dialectal term from the areas of Basso Sangro-Trigno, which indicates a small oak tree or – more generally – a small tree, about to sink its roots into its own land to produce new shoots and new fruits in the future.
