Counting Castles in Abruzzo is ready to introduce the public to the Sothern Italian region of Italy, one of the greenest, yet still little known international tourist destinations. It comes from a collaboration between the US company Native Grapes LLC, based in New Jersey, represented by Hugh L. Preece, Ambassador of Italian Wines, expert oenologist, and an international wine judge and Design Your Italy, a tourism consultancy and travel firm based in Milan, specializing in tailor-made itineraries and committed to the enhancement and promotion of lesser-known locations.

With excellent writing skills, Hugh L. Preece managed to grasp every detail of the concept map created by Destination Specialist Vanya Mavrodieva and recount this wonderful land. A book, not a guide that promotes and enhance the plethora of Abruzzo treasures, narrating the millenary history, its places and traditions consolidated over time, local food, and wines. All explored and revealed for each of the four provinces through a dedicated chapter.
