Majella National Park, the true Italian wilderness di Bruno D'Amicis
Altitude plateaux as vast as the Arctic tundra. Deep canyons engraved by the cristalline waters of rumbling streams. Unique and surprising blooms of endangered flower species. And wolves, chamois, eagles and bears. These are just some of the features of the marvelous Majella National Park. A protected area that preserves the Mother Mountain of the Abruzzo people and a big wilderness sanctuary for all Italians.
