History and description

Anversa degli Abruzzi (Abruzzese: Anvèrsë) is a comune and town in the province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").

History

In the surrounding areas between the Cenozoic and Mesozoic there was a carbonate sedimentation (the rocks near contain various carbonates, mainly including calcium carbonate in the form of compact limestone).

In the 20th century the population underwent a significant population decline (especially for places that offer better job opportunities, including Sulmona).

The population fell from 1,934 inhabitants in 1901, to the current just over 300 inhabitants.
