In the heart of Abruzzo Citeriore, a new initiative is born, dedicated to all those who carry the legacy of this land in their hearts. "Siamo l’Abruzzo Citeriore" is an open window to our past, a bridge connecting us to the stories and traditions of our ancestors.

Our mission is to rekindle the connection to their homeland – Abruzzo Citeriore – in the hearts of Abruzzese descendants around the world. Through our multimedia archive and interactive platform, we aim to create a virtual space where memories can be preserved, shared, and celebrated.

This initiative is for those living abroad who want to keep the culture alive and even visit and strengthen their connection, as well as for those in the region who want to connect with the stories and customs of those who have emigrated. We reach out to all Abruzzese descendants worldwide, maintaining a special bond with the Americas due to the significant migratory flow that has marked our history. We want to revive the stories of those who left, tell the traditions that have been passed down, and keep the culture that makes us unique alive.

Our portal will offer a space where each visit is an emotional journey, discovering Abruzzese roots. From the memories of our grandparents to the new stories of young Abruzzese around the world, "We Are Abruzzo Citeriore" will be the place where every Abruzzese can find a piece of their history.

With the participation of ambassadors and collaborators, we aim to create engaging and authentic content that celebrates the richness of our culture. Through events, stories, and initiatives, we will promote not only the territory but also a sense of belonging and pride in our roots.

We invite all Abruzzese descendants to join us on this journey of rediscovery, to share their stories, and to help keep the memory of our beloved land alive.
