History
Pescara's origins precede the Roman conquest. In 1814, Pescara's Carboneria revolted against Joachim Murat. In the following years, Pescara was merged with the adjacent town of Castellammare degli Abruzzi and eventually became the largest city of its region. The new city received a hard blow during World War II and has since been massively rebuilt, becoming a very modern coastal city of Italy.
