Ofena — Il Forno d'Abruzzo
Abruzzo
Ofena sits in a sheltered basin below the Gran Sasso that traps heat unusually well for the region, earning it the nickname "il forno d'Abruzzo" and supporting vineyards and almond trees more typical of southern Italy. The village belvedere looks out over this warm basin toward the Gran Sasso massif.
