Montesilvano (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a city and comune of the province of Pescara, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Abruzzo is often called Mare-Monti (Sea-Mountain) region. The name Montesilvano is apparently derived from the Latin which means "woody hill" ("woods" – silva).
Geography
Montesilvano is located on the Adriatic Sea immediately north of Pescara, to which it is physically connected. It is divided into Montesilvano Marina and Montesilvano Colle. The first is a seaside resort; the second is the original medieval comune and citadel. Montesilvano is a two-hour drive from Rome and is close to Abruzzo Airport and Pescara Centrale railway station. The mouth of the Saline river is directly north of the town.

On 25 May 2014, the city residents, alongside residents of neighboring cities of Pescara and Spoltore voted in a referendum on merging into a single city. Montesilvano voters approved the merger with 52.23% of the votes.[3] The regional law approving the merger was passed on 8 August 2018, with a target date of 1 January 2022. It was later pushed back to 2023,[4] and then again to 2027.[5]
