Valle San Giovanni is a small village of approximately 350 people located about six miles away from the town (comune) of Teramo, the capital of the province of Teramo, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso are about 25 km away. It sits in the Tordino Valley, near the spot where two small streams, the Lete and the Fiumicello, flow into the Tordino river. Due to the kindness of its citizens and inherent beauty the village is often referred to as “La Cenerentola d’Abruzzo” (The Cinderella of Abruzzo).
The village of Valle San Giovanni hosts an elementary school. Students in the higher grades attend school in nearby Teramo.
