Abruzzo is a region of central Italy bordering Marche to the north, Lazio to the west and south-west, Molise to the south-east and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Until 1963 it was part of the Abruzzi e Molise region (with Molise). The term Abruzzi is an obsolete plural denomination from a time when the Bourbons administered the territory as Closer Abruzzo and Further Abruzzo. The regional capital is L'Aquila. The region is divided into four provinces: L'Aquila (the largest), Teramo, Chieti (the most populous) and Pescara, Abruzzo's main economic centre. The four provinces are further divided into 305 municipalities. Abruzzo has a population of around 1.3 million. One third of the region is designated as national or regional park. The following parks lie, wholly or partially, within Abruzzo: * Abruzzo National Park * National Park of the Gran Sasso * National Park of the Maiella * Sirente Velino Regional Park * Barrea Lake Wetlands The protected areas are environmentally important and are home to rare flora and fauna, such as the brown bear, the wolf and the chamois. The region is rich in natural beauties and history, but is only just starting to be discovered by mass tourism. Abruzzo's wealth of castles and medieval towns, especially near the town of L'Aquila has earned it in some quarters the nickname of "Abruzzoshire", by analogy with the "Chiantishire" nickname sometimes used to refer to the Chianti area of Tuscany. Some towns in Abruzzo include L'Aquila, Chieti, Pescara, Teramo, Vasto, Avezzano, Giulianova, Sulmona, Lanciano, Montesilvano, Francavilla al Mare, Roseto, Penne, Castel di Sangro and, smaller in size, Lettomanopello, Tortoreto, Alba Adriatica, Pescasseroli, Collelongo, Villavallelonga, Gissi, Rocca di Mezzo near Campo Felice, a ski resort in the Gran Sasso Mountains, Ovindoli, another ski resort near the Velino mountain, and Roccaraso, the first ski resort in the South - Central Italy, near Castel di Sangro.
