Italy’s “Little Tibet”

Here are some images to our trip to the “Gran Sasso d’Italia” which is a mountain located in the Abruzzo region of central Italy . The Gran Sasso is 132 km far awy from Rome. We went up to the plateau of Campo Imperatore (2000 m) and had lunch at a hotel midway on the top of Campo Imperatore. A hotel where the Italian fascist Benito Mussolini was imprisoned from August until September 1943 until he escaped in a Nazi commando operation.

Well, the food was good and the view even better. Later on we went next to L’Aquila the captial of the Abruzzo region.
