L'Aquila is a city and comune of central Italy, on the Aterno river. It is both the capital of the Abruzzo region and the seat of the province of L'Aquila. It lies on a hill in the wide valley of the Aterno, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the Gran Sasso d'Italia being conspicuous on the north-east. Although less than two hours' drive from Rome, the city (laid out within medieval walls) has not yet been heavily affected by foreign tourism. L'Aquila is a popular summer resort and in the cold winter the city welcomes a great number of skiers, mainly Romans, who stay in town while skiing at nearby resorts. L'Aquila lies at the foot of the highest peaks in the Apennines.
