In the wildest heart of the Apennines: the Campo Imperatore plateau and the highest peaks of the Gran Sasso. A natural area that preserves precious flora and fauna: wolves, deer, chamois, roe deer and golden eagles. Here, wrapped in a thick blanket of snow, we discover stone villages, fortified hamlets whose economy revolved around sheep farming. For almost a century, this land has only seen people emigrate, today the people of Abruzzo are discovering that in these parts - with a little inventiveness and good will - you can also stay. And live well. By Lodovico Prola and Luigi Di Stano
