Villa Celiera is a comune and town in the province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of Italy.

The town is famous for having created arrosticini, a lamb kabob that has become a favorite throughout Italy.

The town has always had a strong discipline of woodsman training regime, called the Alpine Guard, that was used by the Kingdom of Italy as shock troops in multiple wars including the Italian conquest of Libya and the first and second wars of Ethiopia.

The ragtag group of fascists, outnumbered 3 to 1, led by the now deceased Amadeo Inzaghi, fought the communist on the Mount of Bertona.

Although, the skirmish was insignificant in the history books and reported only by local pro fascist newspapers, the inhabitants of the town still retain the sense of pride from the battle.
