Scerni, living among hills and olive groves in the Medio Vastese.
Mild climate, gentle hills as a backdrop, typical dishes and culture: all this is Scerni, a town of just over 3,000 inhabitants in the province of Chieti, in the Montagna Community of the Medio Vastese. A historic town, home to the D'Ercole Real Estate Agency, Scerni hosts a quiet and industrious community that enjoys lush and orderly surrounding nature, a sign of a still strong agricultural vocation and a bond with the land that is tenacious and fruitful. Scerni is indeed well-known for the production of cured meats, wine, oil, and Ventricina, an award-winning typical salami of the Vastese, which has gained national prominence thanks to its repeated victories over the years as the best salami in Italy.
What to see in Scerni
In addition to the expanses of vineyards and olive groves, the town of Chieti also offers various architectural and cultural attractions. If you are wondering what to see in Scerni, you must absolutely visit the fortified village, dating back to the 14th century and subject to transformations and changes until the 1700s, which houses the PALAZZO D'AVALOS, classified as a fortified palace, built by the marquises D'Avalos. Dominating in Piazza De Riseis is the PALAZZO DE RISEIS, classified as a baronial palace, built in the 18th century, and in the same square, we find the PALAZZO RAIMONDI, classified as a noble house with halls featuring frescoed ceilings. Additionally, in Viale Dante Alighieri, you will find the SANTUARIO DELLA MADONNA DELLA STRADA, built in the 1960s on the remains of an ancient church dating back to the 14th century. In Via Arcivescovo De Risio, you can also visit the CHIESA DI SAN PANFILO, which dates back to a period before the 14th century. The building was damaged in 1566 by incursions of the Turks and has undergone various modifications over the centuries. The bell tower dates back to the 1700s. In Contrada San Giacomo, we find the CHIESA DI SAN GIACOMO, which took its name, according to popular belief, from the discovery in the place where the church currently stands, of a painting of the Apostle Saint James the Greater.
