Tagliacozzo

Tagliacozzo is one of the most beautiful villages in the Marsica, in the province of L'Aquila, nestled at the foot of Monte Civita. Its name is said to recall the cut in the rock on which it stands. In 1268 its plain was the setting for the famous battle between Conradin of Swabia and Charles of Anjou; in the centuries that followed, the town belonged to the Orsini, who opened a mint here, and later to the Colonna. The heart of the historic centre is Piazza dell'Obelisco, with its fountain, and just above it stands the Orsini Ducal Palace, with Gothic and Renaissance features. In winter, in the hamlet of Marsia, there are ski slopes among the beech woods. In the other seasons, you can walk the Sentiero dei Muli to the source of the Imele river and explore the surrounding mountains, such as Monte Bove. Rome and L'Aquila are easily reached by motorway. A lively village all year round, perfect for a mountain home or a second home to rent to tourists. Le Case di Reno accompanies you from the first viewing all the way to the deed of sale.
