San Giovanni Lipioni

San Giovanni Lipioni stands at 545 meters elevation on a rocky ridge, offering views across the Trigno River valley in the Abruzzo region.

The settlement originated from a Roman pagus of Terventum municipality, later evolving through medieval times when it was known as Sanctus Johannes a podio Bacco.

The village maintains traditional food festivals, including the October Scrippelle celebration where locals prepare and share regional crepe specialties.

Reaching the commune requires car travel via the A14 motorway to Vasto Sud exit, followed by the SS 650 road from San Salvo to the village.

The medieval urban layout features houses arranged in a comb pattern with sloping external walls, creating a network of covered passages and terraces.
