Monastero di Pietraquaria, Avezzano

Historia

The monastery’s name is derived from the medieval city of Pietraquaria which has long since disappeared. A tribe was known as the Marsi once inhabited the environs. Noted as wizards and snake charmers, the origins of the modern-day religious festival in the nearby town of Cocullo is attributed to this tribe.

The Feast of Madonna di Pietraquaria, complete with Via Crucis and fireworks, occurs at the end of April. In July, there is a beer festival; early August, the Festival of Pasta e Ceci includes folk games and shows; September, a potato festival.
