SECRET ABRUZZO: Pescara, Italy - An American City HIDDEN in PLAIN SIGHT

In this video we're exploring Pescara, Italy! With 120 thousand inhabitants, and approximately another 300 thousand in the surrounding province, Pescara is the largest city in Italy’s Abruzzo region. Pescara is a special and unique city, mixing the charm of romantic 19th century palazzos with modern architecture. This town has enough hustle and bustle to make you feel like you’re in a much larger city. As a matter of fact, Pescara punches well above its weight in a number of categories, including fine dining, nightlife, and art and culture. It is beyond a doubt Abruzzo’s most cosmopolitan city, and among locals it’s considered super chic to have a pied-a-terre in Pescara’s historic city center.

Great video. We love Pescara and live about 30 minutes away. It is definitely a more modern city for Italy because of the heavy bombardment in WW2. The biggest difference with an American city is that you can walk the entire city, any time of day, and never worry about being shot.

[carolmerlini]

Born and raised in USA, I have lived in Pescara for 22 years. Thank God the attitude of my beautiful city is not American.

Love your detailed narrative of the infrastructure of the city, subscribed for that too. If someone is planning to visit or relocate you give invaluable information and keen insights. Really enjoyed your video and are planning to watch more. Hey from Sacramento California.

As an italian born and raised in Pescara it's strange the comparison to an american city. Great video👍

[marcocarlson]

Really nice, and does have an American look to it as you say. All of Abruzzo is much better than I ever realized. Beautiful.

First time visitor to your channel. I've been looking at Calabria and it appears that there is definitely a 1950-1970's Mid Century Modern architectural aesthetic to this city that I like.

[nancyesposito]

[jonathanwalker]

So nice to see my beautiful city where I was born, so sad that we had to leave this place for Australia, can’t wait to relocate back here, Home ❤

[petercarroll]

I am very interested in moving to the Abruzzo region … I enjoyed the video

[debbiemoore]

Thanks for an excellent and informative tour of Pescara! Beautiful city!

[fernandovenditti]

We visit almost every summer. We stay in Pineto and take the train to Pescara. Thank for an enjoyable video of one our favourite cities. It’s certainly a fantastic place to get gelato too, right by the sea.

Great video!! Thank you for showing us Pescara!! My people are from a mountain village not far from here!! This is a city well worth visiting!!

[galux]

Love the fact that I've always thought Pescara beach style was actually similar to the Miami one and now I hear that from an american

[lilianabressanelli]

I'm Italian, from Milan, but I know Pescara and the US cities very well, especially Miami. Italy is wonderful, as are US cities. But the comparison is risky. In my opinion they don't look alike. Anyway thanks for the great video. Gorgeous images 🌴👏

[leliodalf]

it's the same stuff, if you say, we are a turkish ciy because we have kebab restaurant

[annaangilella]

Just watched your video loved it. My mom and dad are from Pescara. I was there in 1972 beautiful city.

[iainsanders]

Being so early, sun so low, in a built-up area - looks a little dark!

[d.dominik]

I don't mind Pescara. It's a recent midsize city, just by the beachese, and hills are not far.
Anyway, I think it's more and more in decay, as most of Italy No maintenance, no graffiti cleaning. Though not too dirty in general.
