Pescara is the capital city of Abruzzo located by the Adriatic Sea, 155 kilometers north east of Rome. It is one of the most important ports of the country and famous for its fishing, shipyards, machinery, furniture and textile industries.

The population rate is approximately 16,000 in the 1.2 km2 city that is only 4 meters above sea level.

The beaches are always crowded with Italians and tourists each summer as it offers impressive mountain range views as backdrops.

Pescara is very much like the French city of Arcachon and Miami in US.

As Pescara is located near the sea, the city has very mild weather changes between summer and winter unlike other parts of Italy. The minimum temperature in winter is around 5 degrees and its summer high is approximately 35 degrees.
