Abruzzo Heritage a project by Abruzzo World Club	Follow us on

Our region has always been away from all major communication networks. Those who left to find a better life elsewhere very rarely returned. But the Abruzzese in Italy and those in other countries of Europe, America, Australia, all share a common cultural heritage: this website aims at keeping this heritage alive. Abruzzo World Club, thanks also to the support of subscribers since 1998, developed the ABRUZZO2000 website, established and maintained free messageboards and guestbooks to the Abruzzese and Italian community in the world, organized TOURS to the region and provided assistance in GENEALOGY research.

ezine The periodical Abruzzo Heritage Ezine offers an insight into the very soul of the region, through research of documents, photos, genealogy records, cemetery images, to rediscover the importance of the values and traditions that our forebears kept as their special treasure in their quest for a better future, and the great wealth of historical, cultural, artistic and natural beauties of Abruzzo and nearby places.
