DIRECTIONS

Valle San Giovanni is located approximately 8 km (5 miles) southwest of Teramo.

From Teramo:

1. Go to the Piazza Garibaldi which is a major roundabout (traffic circle) on the north side of the town. It is at the crossroads of the two state roads (Strada Statale) the SS80 and the SS81.

2. Take Viale Crucioli which is also SS80. A sign will say “L’aquila/Roma”. You will be heading west.

3. Stay on the SS80 for 5.7 km. Right past the bridge in the Contrada Villa Tordinia get into the left turn lane.

5. You will see a sign that says “Frondarola/Cortino/Valle San Giovanni.” Take the left turn onto the SP46. Go a very short distance (80 meters, 200 feet or so).

6. You will see a sign for “Cortino/Padula/Valle San Giovanni.” Take this right turn. Go 2.8km.

7. There will be a fork in the road with a sign that shows Valle San Giovani to the left. You have arrived!

Once in the town ask anyone and they will point to Paolo Riccioni’s grocery store. Just in case you should carry his phone numbers with you.   I will provide these to you before your journey.
