Encyclopedic overview
Goriano Sicoli is a comune and town in the Province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy.
Goriano is a medieval town of about 600 people (2013). The town, which sits on top of a mountain in southeast Abruzzo (about an hour and a half east of Rome and near the Adriatic coast town of Pescara), was made somewhat famous by M. C. Escher in his print of the town which hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
