Pescosansonesco (Abruzzese: Neapolitan: Lu Pièsc'hie; Pescolano: Neapolitan: Gliu Pièšc'he) is a comune and town in the province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of Italy. It is 500m (1,600feet) above sea level in the natural park known as the "Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park".Famous for its sanctuary, the village is divided into two parts: the old suburb, "Pescosansonesco Vecchio", which was abandoned in 1944 due to numerous landslides caused by a series of earthquakes, and the new village, "Pescosansonesco Nuovo", built some 30NaN0 away, in the “Ambrosian” region. Before the establishment of Pescosansonesco in the 10th century, there was an ancient settlement, called a pagus. The pre-Roman inhabitants of the area created a sanctuary at Lake Morrone in the 5th century BC.[2]
