Pescara
After the First World War, at the mouth of the river Pescara there were two very different little cities. To the south, the oldest Pescara (Portanuova), grew on the ruins of a sixteenth-century fortress that controlled the river and the main Adriatic road conjunction with Via Tiburtina Valeria in the most important valley of Abruzzo.North of the river, in the narrow strip of land that stretches between the hills and the sea a new city was rapidly developing especially after the arrival of the railroad and construction Station (1863).
The merger of the two municipalities happened in 1926, Advocate Gabriele D'Annunzio, with the appointment as the capital of a small province derived from those of Chieti and Teramo.
The dense central areas of employment after the post-conflict reconstruction pushed the city to expand outwards. The realization of the industrial area between Pescara and Chieti, the highways, the new locations of regional and national offices, the new central station and the harbour offered new possibilities to prepare Pescara for the challenge of the third millennium.
