a province in Naples. The river Pescara divides it into two parts; one of which is called Ulterior, whereof Aquila is the capital; and the other Citerior, whose capital is Solomona. Besides the Apennines, there are two considerable mountains, the one called Monte Cavallo, and the other Monte Maiello. The top of this last is always covered with snow. Abruzzo is a cold but fruitful country; and abounds with corn, rice, several good fruits, and saffron.
