Canosa Sannita
Canosa Sannita is a comune and town in the province of Chieti, Abruzzo, central Italy. Economy is mostly based on agriculture, located at 231 meters of altitude. In 18th century Italy Canosa belonged to the Abruzzo Citra province of the Kingdom of Naples and compiled the “Catasto Onciario” in 1742.
Canosa Sannita was also part of the WW2 German defences preventing the Allied advance called The Gustav Line. It suffered as did many towns and villages in the area. The church was blown up as the Germans withdrew leaving only rubble and bells which were saved and still used today in the new church. (At the Adriatic end of the line was the town on the coast called Ortona. The battle that raged around the town has been called “Italy’s Stalingrad”).
Now, it is a very friendly town which boasts a number of local shops for your convenience. They have their own football team and stadium. There is also has a large gym, which also runs fitnesses classes.
Canosa is classed as “Central Italy” so we are spoilt for choice of where to go and what to do. Towards the east is the coast line with sandy beaches and a warm Adriatic Sea to swim or partake in water activities only 12.5km away and airport only 27km away. Towards the west is of course the mountains about 17km away and the beautiful city of Rome is only a 2 hour drive away.
