I have lived in abruzzo for about 10 years of my life and still travel there often. It is a beautiful part of Italy, unknown to most tourists. What perhaps is not known to your UK readers is that HALF of Abruzzo, Roseto included, has been designated as an oil district. Some of the companies that have requested drilling permits are Italy's ENI, UK's Mediterranean Oil and Gas, Ireland's Petroceltic. It is a complex story - people have been fighting this for two years, and while we have had some success it is important to raise awareness outside the Italian speaking community.
