Silvi Marina, just a few miles away of Pescara extending to the south as far as the Piomba river, and to the north to the Cerrano tower, is one of the most famous seaside resorts in Abruzzo, with its fashionable villas of the late nineteenth - early twentieth centuries, and also is famous for its liquorice manufacturing industry.
Its territory includes the two centers of Silvi Paese or Silvi Alta and Silvi Marina along the coast. Thanks to one of the most beautiful beaches of the Adriatic, to the wealth of hotels, pensions and seasonal rental flats, the town is full of Italian and foreign tourists in summer.
Sights & Excursions
- Silvi Alta or Silvi Paese (town), a medieval borough perched on top of a hill, 250 meters above sea level, once a defense garrison against the Saracens, offers a spectacular view over the whole Central Adriatic, sweeping from the Yugoslavian coast to Monte Conero and the Tremiti Islands.
- Church of San Salvatore, in Silvi Paese, with a fine bell-tower, dated 1252, was probably begun two centuries earlier.
- Torre di Cerrano, the ancient harbour of Atri and Silvi. It developed when Atri abandoned the Vomano harbor, because the river was moving farther into the sea. The jobs for the harbor building began in 1256.
Events & Festivities
May-June: "Lu cencialone" This feast takes origin from a legend derived possibly from of one of the many Muslim raids. The Saracens landed at Cerrano marina, the ancient harbour serving Silvi and Atri, sacked everything, then moved towards the hill. The alarm was given by the church bells calling all the population to the defence. Before the barbarians reached the doors of the village, a courageous young man, with a big lighted torch, went out of the walls and faced them. The torch light deceived the invaders who thought they were being attacked by a multitude of people; in order to keep the goods they had already sacked, they gave up the enterprise and ran away. The "miracle" is remembered with the celebration of the feast of the "Ciancialone".
