Pescara’s Gabrielle D’Annunzio

March 10, 2009

Setting aside your hire car for an hour or two and taking a walk around the picturesque town of Pescara could scarcely be more rewarding.  Pescara’s ancient centre, built within the Spanish walls, holds many interesting buildings and monuments, including an impressive library, museum and, most notably, an exquisite neo-classical cathedral, the Cathedral of St Cetteus cathedral.  Possibly the building deserving of most attention, however is a small house by the old city walls – The house of Gabriele D’Annunzio, the famous 19th and 20th century Italian poet, is preserved as a museum to the remarkable man’s memory and career, and sits in the centre of Pescara.

A legendary Italian poet, novelist, dramatist, military hero, and political activist, D’Annunzio combined naturalism, symbolism and eroticism in his writing, and was never far from the headlines in his day.  As you might expect from a son of the remarkable and vibrant town of Pescara, he wasn’t just famous for his writing and his politics. His love affairs, relationship with a world-famous actress, and his heroic adventures during World War I, make this house a fascinating visit, both for fans of Mr D’Annunzio, and newcomers to the legendary figure.

The Pescara Jazz Festival

Every summer the picturesque and intriguing little town of Pescara becomes home to one of Europe’s most important and interesting jazz festivals, when this beautiful corner of Italy becomes the musical centre of the world.  Every July since 1969 the streets and venues, both indoor and out, resonate to the sounds of the jazz world’s greatest artists and performers.

Over the years, the Pescara Jazz Festival has played host to some of Jazz’s greatest names, such as Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, Charles Mingus, Woody Herman, Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck, Chet Baker, and Wayne Shorter, while more recent acts have included Natalie Cole, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Stan Getz.   

And it doesn’t stop there.  If Jazz isn’t necessarily your bag, baby, the Pescara Jazz Festival also welcomes acts with a wider appeal outside of Jazz, and visitors to the lovely town of Pescara will also be able to hear performers tackling the work of people like Burt Bacharach, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and James Taylor. Truly something for everyone.
