ITALIANO ENGLISH

The name of Pescasseroli seams derived from "Pesculum Serulae" i.e. a sheer cliff rock; according to Benedetto Croce (a philosopher born in this location) the etymology is "Pesculum ad Sarolum" i.e. rock near the small Sangro, a river name recalling to the memory ancient pelagian transmigrations.
At the entrance of the village there is a fountain with an inscription remembering the Park opening (9th September 1922).
