Pietransieri is a frazione of Roccaraso in the Province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy. It is included in the mountain community of the Alto Sangro and the Cinque Miglia upland.
Overview
Pietransieri is situated at an altitude of 1399 meters, on a side of the Tocco mountain. It leans behind a big rocky stone (in Italian la Pietra).
This village is known mostly because of the slaughter of Limmari. This massacre was committed as a retaliation by Nazis on 21 November 1943 because of the suspect that inhabitants were helping the partisans. 128 inhabitants were killed, including 38 children, and the corpses were left in the woods.
