The Basilio Cascella Civic Museum is an Italian pinacotheca based in Pescara in the Porta Nuova district. The museum is located in the former lithographic establishment established at the end of the nineteenth century by the painter Basilio Cascella. The building, for half a century the center of artistic production and meeting place for intellectuals such as Gabriele D'Annunzio, Luigi Pirandello, and Giovanni Pascoli, was donated to the Comune of Pescara in 1966 by the heirs of Cascella.
2. L'approdo alla nave
The landing at the ship, known simply as Fontana la Nave, is a monumental fountain located in Pescara in Largo Mediterraneo. Built in 1987 by the sculptor Pietro Cascella, the work symbolically represents a galley, an ancient rowing boat, conceived as a re-enactment of the city's seafaring history and the sufferings suffered by the prisoners of the Bourbon fortress, forced to work as oarsmen on Spanish ships in the nineteenth century.
3. Cattedrale di San Cetteo
Pescara Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the Via D'Annunzio in the city of Pescara. The cathedral, dedicated to Saint Cetteus, patron saint of Pescara, has been the seat of the Archbishop of Pescara-Penne since the creation of the archdiocese in 1982. The present Romanesque Revival building, originally called the Tempio della Conciliazione, was constructed in the 1930s, replacing the medieval church of San Cetteo.
4. Chiesa di Sant'Andrea
The feast of Sant'Andrea is the traditional party with which the Marineria of Pescara celebrates its saint protector, Sant'Andrea Apostolo. The tradition dates back to 1867, when in Castellammare Adriatico, in the area of the village of fishermen, near the port and the river, a church dedicated to Sant'Andrea Apostolo was built.
5. Casa natale di Ennio Flaiano
Ennio Flaiano was an Italian screenwriter, playwright, novelist, journalist, and drama critic. Best known for his work with Federico Fellini, Flaiano co-wrote ten screenplays with the Italian director, including La Strada (1954), La Dolce Vita (1960), and 8½ (1963).
