Via dell'Orefice, Fara Filiorum Petri

The cluster sits on the Abruzzo foothills between the Maiella massif to the west and the lower hills that run toward the Adriatic. The Foro river valley is the local drainage line in this part of the province. Maiella National Park begins within roughly this range to the west, and the mountain block is the main landscape feature of the area. The nearest town of size is Chieti, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections; inland, Guardiagrele is the main hill town toward the mountain and is known for its old centre and metalworking tradition. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves, vineyards and hill villages on the Adriatic side of the Maiella.
