| Palazzo Ducale |
This post is all about my favorite Italian town....TAGLIACOZZO! Tagliacozzo is a town in the province of Aquila more specifically in the Abruzzo region of Italy. This town is dear to my heart as my mother was born and raised here and I've returned many, many times falling in love with this little town more and more with each trip. It is an artisan town, full of history and beauty. For example, there is the Palazzo Ducale, which was built in the 14th century by Count Roberto Orisini and later owned by the Colonna family. These were great Renaissance families with ties to the great Medici's of Florence. Most of the beautiful churches and buildings in Tagliacozzo were built around 13th century (and before!) so as you can tell there is history all around you and you make your way up the stairs leading from the Piazza Obelisco to the areas of "La Costa" and " Sulla Terra".
