Roseto degli Abruzzi

Roseto degli Abruzzi is a coastal town in the Province of Teramo situated along the Adriatic Sea. The settlement spreads between two river mouths at sea level, with sandy shores and a waterfront character shaped by maritime traditions.

The town was named Rosburgo by King Umberto I in 1877 and renamed in 1927 with its present name. This change reflected the local custom of decorating fishermen's homes with rose plants.

Santa Maria Assunta serves as the town's patron saint after the previous religious focus was reconsidered. This shift remains visible in how residents mark their faith through local celebrations and religious observances.

The town connects by train to nearby regional centers, making it accessible for day visits or longer stays. Hotels and accommodations cluster near the waterfront and beaches, so visitors can easily reach the shore.

The local basketball team plays in a large indoor arena that draws crowds from across the region. The town also maintains tennis courts and an Olympic-standard swimming pool, offering sports facilities that exceed what most towns its size provide.
