The village was owned by Lothair, nephew of Charlemagne, from whom it would derive its name as Lotaresco – “land of Lothair”. From the medieval period, when the village became important for its defensive structure, there remains a clear imprint in the conformation of the dwellings, which are distinguished by their thick walls and tall, narrow windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

On your walk, stop at the seat of the Town Hall, the <\/span>Palazzo degli Acquaviva<\/b> dukes of Atri, who held the feud since 1308 in co-ownership with Trasmondo III di Castelvecchio, and at the <\/span>Porta Castellana<\/b>, another testimony of ancient medieval glory. You can also admire <\/span>Palazzo De Vincenzi<\/b>, an example of 19th-century civil architecture where Giuseppe De Vincenzi was born. He was the forerunner of mechanical ploughing of the land, planted the first specialised vineyards and patented several grape processing systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the highest part of the village, then, you will come across the peculiar <\/span>square with its chequered paving<\/b>: who knows, maybe you could organise a living game in a medieval setting that will make you feel even more like kings, queens, bishops or knights!<\/span><\/p>\n

A visit to the <\/span>Abbey of San Clemente al Vomano<\/b><\/a>, reportedly built in the 9th century at the behest of Ermengarda, daughter of Emperor Ludovico II, is a must. In Romanesque style, it is striking for the beauty of its portal and its 12th-century ciborium, among the oldest and most monumental in Abruzzo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing in the footsteps of the important testimonies of the past, reach the ruins of a large production centre for wine, oil and \u2018garum\u2019 from the Italic-Roman period in the Piana dei Cesari and the “<\/span>G. Romualdi” Archaeological Museum<\/b>, which houses the artefacts found at the archaeological site of Grasciano, dating back to the Neolithic period.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a gastronomic stop, we suggest savouring the traditional local dishes, including a particular version of the classic Teramo timballo, which here becomes <\/span>timballo di scrippelle notareschino<\/b>: while the former alternates layers of crepe and layers of rag\u00f9 with meatballs, here the sauce is put inside the crepe, rolled up and placed in a pan. Delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accompany these delicacies with a pearl from Notaresco, which is in fact the <\/span>City of Wine<\/b>: the <\/span>Colline Teramane Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG<\/b>, a red wine that will delight your palate between one bite and the next.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
