Villa Sant'Angelo
Overview
Villa Sant’Angelo is a small municipality in the province of L’Aquila, located in the Aterno Valley in inland Abruzzo, central Italy. The village lies within a typical Apennine landscape of hills, forests, and waterways, offering a quiet and rural setting. The settlement has ancient origins and retains the traditional structure of historic Abruzzese mountain villages. Like many towns in the area, Villa Sant’Angelo was heavily affected by seismic events, particularly the 2009 earthquake, which had a significant impact on the community and local infrastructure.
L'Aquila
