Ripoli Among Hills, History and Festivals

Ripoli in the municipality of Mosciano Sant’Angelo

Ripoli belongs to the municipality of Mosciano Sant'Angelo. This municipality extends across the hills between the valleys of the Tordino and the Salinello. For your travel planning, it is therefore important to distinguish the municipal level from the specific designation Ripoli.

Church, palace and a dated local reference

The Church of San Gabriele dell'Addolorata is located in Contrada Ripoli on Via San Gabriele in Mosciano Sant’Angelo. The Palazzo Ventilj palace is also located in the area surrounding Ripoli. Visitors interested in culture can regard the Church of San Gabriele dell'Addolorata as a specific religious point of reference in Ripoli.

Ripoli is mentioned in the Catasto onciario of Mosciano from 1753. If you want to include older local references in your trip to Italy alongside the landscape and the present day, Ripoli’s historical trace reaches back to the 18th century. The year 1753 provides a clearly dated point of reference.

Religious festival in July

The Festa di San Gabriele is held in Contrada Ripoli and is a religious festival in July. If you include Ripoli’s religious festival tradition in your own itinerary, plan your visit for July.

Sport between facility and club

The specific facilities in Contrada Ripoli include Campo Bocce. It is one of the sports facilities in Mosciano Sant'Angelo that are not part of school complexes. This should be distinguished from the Circolo Bocciofilo Ripolese, which is based at Contrada Ripoli 6 in Mosciano Sant'Angelo. All activities of the Circolo are exclusively for members. This distinction is important for your planning if bocce is a particular interest: the sports facility and the members-only club represent two different forms of local sporting activity here.

A precisely dated cycling reference

Another precisely dated reference is the 59th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico. On 7 March 2024, it was scheduled to pass along the Rotatoria C.da Ripoli and the S.P. 262 Dir. The cycling event on 7 March 2024 falls in a different month from the Festa di San Gabriele in July. For cycling enthusiasts, this event is one of the clearly defined references associated with Ripoli.

Travel and accommodation in Ripoli

Mosciano Sant'Angelo is connected via Mosciano Stazione railway station to the Teramo–Giulianova railway line and the national rail network. This provides a practical transport connection at municipal level when planning your journey to Mosciano Sant'Angelo. When choosing your accommodation, you can consider this transport connection separately from the specific address in Ripoli.

Bed and Breakfast Bianchini is located at Via S. Gabriele 12 in Ripoli. For your accommodation decision, the exact location in Ripoli is therefore the specific local reference.
