Description
. Frondarola is a small village of about 200 people located in the Abruzzo Region of Italy. It lies at an altitude of 1502 feet above sea level and is located about five miles from Teramo, the capital city of the province of Teramo. Frondarola is a frazione (suburb or surrounding village) of the commune of Teramo.
Frondarola is located just off the state highway leading from Teramo to Montorio al Vomano. About four miles from Teramo there lies a junction with one small road leading to Frondarola and, in the other direction, a small road leading to Valle San Giovanni.
Frondarola takes its name from the Latin furnus arola, that is, land belonging the family Furnus. Archeological evidence points to the existence of Frondarola in the pre-Roman era. The earliest known public document referencing the town is found in an act in which Count Trasmondo di Sifredo donates the Castle of Fornarolo to the church “Aprutina” in the year 1076. Approximately 10 years later Count Teutone di Ranieri mentions the passing of this donation to Ugone, Bishop of Teramo. Following its destruction 1156 by the Loretello’s mercenary troops, the noblemen living in Frondarola fled to the surrounding countryside and villas. Later the Melatini family took possession of the land and became the most important feudal leaders of the area.
The village is located at the watershed of the Tordino and Vomano valleys. Looking out from Frondarola one can see the peaks of the Gran Sasso and the Monti della Laga mountains, as well as the hills of the Pescara and Ascoli Piceno areas of Abruzzo. Its dominant position gives Frondarola visibility and a distinctive atmosphere amongst ambiance characteristic of the Aprutino hill country in Abruzzo. The town is known for its church, San Salvatore.
