History
Even if the territory of Alanno was inhabited since the Bronze Age, Alanno was likely founded as a fort (castrum) by the Longobards around the 4th or 5th centuries. After having been a fief of the Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria for centuries, it was ruled by a succession of feudal families since the 14th century: , Caracciolo, , and (since 1739). 114 families were recorded as taxpayers in 1443, and 190 families were fiscally registered in 1532. San Biagio parish church was rebuilt as a consequence of the 1915 Avezzano earthquake.
Geography
Alanno lies at the southeastern foothills of the Gran Sasso d'Italia massif. The old town of Alanno is located on a hill, which is surrounded by Aterno river and a stream named Cigno. The old town is close to the small economic center (Alanno Scalo), which benefits economically from local manufacturing plants, on the Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway, and access to the A25 motorway. A reservoir () on the Aterno river led to the birth of a natural reserve called , for the preservation of animal and plant species, including some species of waterbirds and the yellow iris. === Climate ===
