A wine-and-food evening at Largo Palizze, opening a month of summer events by the Sestiere Porta Manaresca — one of Sulmona's most successful jousting districts, with 7-8 Palio wins since 1995 in the city's historic Giostra Cavalleresca. A selection of Abruzzese wines and traditional dishes, paired with live music from an Achille Lauro tribute band, leads into the sestiere's other July traditions, including its 22nd Panarda communal feast.
