Fossacesia, Historic commune in Province of Chieti, Italy
Fossacesia is a commune in the Province of Chieti that stretches between a hilltop settlement near the Sangro River and a coastal area along the Adriatic Sea. The territory encompasses multiple districts and connects inland hills with seaside villages.
The area has been inhabited since Neolithic times and was significant during the Roman period. Archaeological remains from both eras are visible within the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere.
The town honors its patron saint Donato of Arezzo through local celebrations in August and marks the harvest season with traditional grape festivals each September. These gatherings reflect how agriculture and faith shape the daily rhythms of the community.
The area is easily accessible via the A-14 motorway exit at Lanciano. Visitors can contact the municipal office for directions and local information.
The municipality is divided into eight separate districts, including Campidoglio, Colle Cannizza, and Villa Scorciosa. This fragmented layout reflects how settlement patterns spread across hills and coastal areas.
