Piano della Lenta
Piano della Lenta is a neighborhood of Teramo, Italy. Piano della Lenta extends to the north of the city center along the State Highway 80 (SS 80), the main road to Ascoli Piceno. It is located about three kilometers from the Teramo city center and has the characteristic of being a mere extension of the city itself. It is located roughly a kilometre away, however from the town of Puntignano. Overview The area's name, "Piano della Lenta" (Plain of Leisure) probably derives from a number of inns and wineries which once dotted the landscape. They served as a welcome stopping off point fortravelers who journeyed from the Teramo city center to the surrounding villages and towns. Piano della Lenta boasts a number of interesting attractions including five man (calcetto) and eleven man (calcio) soccer fields, two bocce ball sporting areas, a small amphitheater, a remote control miniature car raceway, and four public garden parks. A good portion of this development took place in the 1970s and 1980s, today making the area one of the most tranquil and convenient locations in the city of Teramo. The neighborhood is almost entirely residential and has a population of more than 3000 residents. Piano
