San Salvo

Province: Chieti · Region: Abruzzo · Population: 18,848 · Postal code: 66050

Industrial glass production forms the economic backbone of San Salvo, hosting a large business park that operates alongside the area's agricultural resources. This Abruzzo town of 18,848 residents balances its modern manufacturing identity with a clear division in its urban layout.

The municipality is split between the inland city center and the coastal San Salvo Marina. Marking the exact point where the Adriatic shoreline transitions into the Molise region, the Marina provides a straightforward, unpretentious beach stop for road-trippers heading south along the Italian coast.
