Confusing

[edit]

This article talks about the province and the city interchangeably and it's unclear. The city is old, but the province named after it was created more recently. Before there was Pescara province, Abruzzo was divided into Abruzzo Citra and Abruzzo Ultra. The history should clearly distinguish the province from the city, and say what year the province was created. 2601:441:4900:A6E0:99EA:F645:B863:A0BE (talk) 14:17, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed the history sections reports the city history, not the province's as it should. I'm not editing on en.wiki since i dont know all the guidelines required, but to clarify the matter: the city its ancient, being founded by italic tribes before roman conquest, but the current day municipality was founded in 1811 under the Abruzzo Citeriore (or Citra in latin, now Province of Chieti). In 1927 the city was reunited with Castellammare Adriatico (previously, since medieval times part of Pescara city but given autonomy in 1807) and at the same time "promoted" to province capital, with the creation of the Province of Pescara. Abruzzo Citra, Ultra I and Ultra II were the historical names of the Abruzzo provinces under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, wich were renamed Province of Chieti, Province of Teramo and Province of Aquila after italian unification. Hope to have clarified some points.--Saya χαῖρε 17:29, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
