The beautiful Gran Sasso can be deadly for its sudden storms. The book records the experience of the Soccorso Alpino della Guardia di Finanza, a group which for 25 years now has saved many lives on the mountain. The book is authored by ethnologist Vincenzo Battista - who personally witnessed the courage of the many voluntary rescuers - and documentary filmmaker Folco Quilici.

A CD and exhibition on a project about family life in the early 1900. Children and families took part in recreating four rooms - a kitchen, workshop, diningroom and bedroom - with other 500 objects, many of them no more in use, like the "prete" used to warm the bed. The museum at Villaggio Celdit is open on Mondays, 17 - 18, and Wednesdays, 12 - 13.
