Villa Vomano

Villa Vomano is a small village in the province of Teramo, in the Abruzzo region of central Italy.

Villa Vomano is midway between the Adriatic Sea and Monti della Laga hills which eventually lead to the Gran Sasso.

A bus filled with tourists making a pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows had a tragic accident and slid nearly completely off the bridge.

For some time it remained precariously balanced 35 feet above the Vomano River below and a rescue mission ended in success.

Given its close proximity to the highway running from Teramo to Rome, Villa Vomano in recent years has increased greatly in population and witnessed a good deal of building construction.
