History
During the Second World War, the Abruzzo region was on the front lines between the Nazi-Occupied North, and the advancing Allies to the south. Abruzzo was a centre of Partisan activity against the Fascists and Nazi Occupation. The first Partisan unit in L'Acquila was founded in Arischia by Antonio D’Ascenzo in the summer of 1943.[1]
