Torricella Peligna

The President, Rosanna Persichitti, born in Torricella, very much wanted a center in Torricella because it was the composer’s father’s place of origin. Her goal was to familiarize the townspeople with Vincent Persichetti and his origins. Torricella Peligna, in the province of Chieti, is the bond between the association and the American musician. It seemed most appropriate for us to have a presence in this little town that never forgets its offspring.

The center is located on Via delle Coste, 68, in the old and historic part of Torricella. The center is near the home where the composer’s father Vincenzo was born. Above right is a present-day photograph of Le Coste, the original name given to this part of the town. Above left is the town in the 1920’s.
