Province of L'Aquila 
Only 12 km away from L'Aquila, Aragno lies amid a wonderfully green landscape. Leaving the village you can follow a panoramic path leading to the chapel of the "Madonnella", consecrated to the Virgin Mary, where traditional celebrations used to take place. The village can also show six ancient fountains, widely used in the past for the village cattle.
