Tavolero

Tavolero, (also referred to as Tavolier, Tivolieri, or in ancient Roman times as Tebularium) is a "frazione" (i.e., suburb) of the Communal town of Rocca Santa Maria in the Province of Teramo.

The village can be found at an elevation about 2709 feet on a rocky piece of land that juts out over and dominates the nearby Tordino River.

It lists the church as falling within the parish of Rocca Santa Maria which itself formed part of the Diocese of Teramo.

In medieval times the church was expected to turn over a tenth (la decima) of its revenue to the parish each year.

Tavolero, along with the nearby villages of Martese and Serra, has been selected by the Province of Teramo as a site for development as a major tourist center.
