Spineta: Culture, History and Getting There

Spineta between Culture and Activity

The second Festa Arcobaleno took place on Via Spineta in Oricola. If you would like to combine local history, events and your own experiences, you will find various points of connection here for planning your trip.

Casa Rosata: Hands-On Culture

At Casa Rosata, you can experience an “Agriturist Culturale.” Courses take place there in July, August and September. This particularly appeals to travellers who do not merely want to observe cultural topics, but also want to engage with a place in a practical way.

As part of a course in Casa Rosata, participants can take part practically in basic work to repair cracks, holes and areas of flaking paint. For you, this is a concrete way to engage with the preservation of surfaces and the practical handling of materials.

Event Venue and Ancient Traces

In 2015, the Teatro Bruno Tescari in Casa Rosata hosted a debate entitled “Il Valore dell’Associazionismo.” The title places the value of associations at the centre. If you would also like to discover Italian culture through social topics, the debate provides a concrete starting point for discussion.

The Civita district of Oricola lies partly within the archaeological area of the ancient city of Carsioli. If you are interested in the history of ancient settlements, this precise spatial relationship is directly relevant to your trip planning. The connection between Civita and Carsioli is spatial, not merely based on their names.

The Civita district of Oricola provides access to the Bosco di Sesera. Together with the archaeological area, this access point connects interests in nature and history within a specific district. You can therefore include Civita in your plans from both perspectives.

Equestrian Sports in Oricola

The Centro Ippico Il Cavaliere in Oricola offers a riding school. In addition, A.D.S. Equites Carsoli, registered in Oricola, offers Western riding, cross-country and working equitation as disciplines. If you would like to include equestrian sports in your trip to Italy, you can distinguish between the connection to a riding school and the disciplines of Western riding, cross-country and working equitation.

Getting There and Finding Your Way on Via Spineta

Casa Rosata can be reached via the A24 Roma–L’Aquila and the Carsoli-Oricola exit. For travelling by car, these two reference points are particularly relevant to your planning. If you travel by car, you can use them to plan your individual journey.

Casa Rosata can also be reached via Oricola-Pereto railway station on the Roma–Sulmona–Pescara railway line. In addition to the road connection, the railway line is therefore another travel option that you can take into account when planning. If you prefer to travel by train, Oricola-Pereto railway station is the specific reference point for Casa Rosata.

Via Spineta crosses Via Tiburtina Valeria at the roundabout by the motorway exit.
