Overview

Morro d'Oro is a town and comune in Teramo province in the Abruzzo region of eastern Italy. Morro d'Oro is an Italian municipality of 3,553 inhabitants in the province of Teramo in Abruzzo, part of the union of the Colline del Medio Vomano municipalities. It is a small town located between the Tordino and Vomano valleys. Its territory extends for 28.18 km²; the inhabitants at the census of 21 October 1991 were 3,015 units; as of 31 December 1995 there were 3,190; a sign that the municipality, after a twenty-year phase of depopulation is in continuous demographic growth. All this thanks to its strategic location and its changed economic conditions: from an exclusively agricultural economy - and mainly sharecropping - to a more integrated agricultural-artisan-industrial one. Therefore, its economy is based, on the one hand, on agriculture, but of an advanced type and on selected crops, in addition to the traditional ones: cereals in general; on the other, on the tertiary sector ; but there is also adequate industrial development, which absorbs a workforce of around 300 units.
