Bugnara is situated in the Sulmona bowl at 580m above sea level.An abundance of antiquities have emerged in its territory: Cyclopean ruins and necropolises. In Roman times it appears to have been called Scorpione and was an ?oppido? of the town of Corfinio, but other historical sources say that it is more likely to have been founded after the destruction of Corfinio. One inscription brought to light is thought to belong to a temple dedicated to Ceres.The town was the feud of various families and is even mentioned in Muratori?s ?Annali d?Italia? as being the possession of a princely family of the 9th century. In 1495 it fell to Charles VIII, but was swiftly re-conquered by the Aragonese. South of town, ascending, there are the ruins of a great medieval fortress of a residential nature, with additions made in the Renaissance period. The SS Rosario church is particularly important, built in the early 16th century. It boasts stuccoes and frescoes, but even more noteworthy is the Madonna deglie Angeli church, where we will encounter the triptych of a Madonna and Child flanked by two angles, dated 16th century. The Madonna della Neve church, on the other hand, is curious as it was built over the ruins of a pagan temple and there are still traces of a Roman floor as well as a stele dedicated to a priestess of Ceres, whose name was Elvia. The same church was for years the home of two 15th century wooden statues and the 1262 Madonna della Concanella (now in a museum in L?Aquila). There is also a 16th century painting of the Holy Trinity.

Located in the Countryside, far 160 Km (1 hour and 20 minutes by motorway) from one of the most amazing and historical cities Rome, 2 hours from Naples, 65 Km (40 minutes) from the Seaside(Pescara) and 35Km (30 minutes) from one of the best known and equipped ski resort of central-southern Italy: Roccaraso.
