Today is a 202km long stage with 1400m altitude gain leaving Teramo and arriving in San Salvo.

>The city of Teramo is one of the four provincial capitals of the Abruzzo region. It is located at the confluence of the Tordino river and the Vezzola stream, on the slopes of the Gran Sasso and a few minutes from the Adriatic Sea, an ideal position to easily visit the characteristic Teramo area.
>Founded at the time of the Phoenicians, it was submitted to the Romans who gave it the name of Interamnia Urbs, which means “city between the two rivers”. It was during the rule of the emperors Augustus, first, and Hadrian, then, that the city experienced a flourishing period, witnessed by the presence of numerous monuments, temples, theaters, amphitheaters, and baths still partially visible and visitable.
>During the Middle Ages, the city experienced a second moment of splendor, despite the bitter struggles between the two dynasties, Angevin and Aragonese.
>In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Teramo had an intense cultural life, opening to the ideas of the Enlightenment of illustrious scholars, such as Melchiorre Delfico, to whom it gave birth.
