Geography
[edit]The Tratturo Pescasseroli-Candela runs between Pescasseroli in Abruzzo and Candela in Apulia, covering a distance of 211 kilometres (131 mi), and is up to 60 metres (200 ft) wide along some stretches.[3]
It is still used for seasonal migration of herds. Some historians, such as Wisemann, believe that it follows the same route as the Via Minucia Traiana, an ancient Roman road.
