Chieti is a city and comune in Southern Italy, 200 kilometres (124 miles) east by northeast of Rome. Chieti is situated a few kilometers away from the Adriatic Sea, and with the Majella and Gran Sasso mountains in the background. It is divided into the old town on the homonymous hill overlooking the Aterno-Pescara and the more recent commercial and industrial area, which is called Chieti Scalo and has developed thanks to the Chieti railway station along the ancient layout of Via Tiburtina, in the valley of the Aterno-Pescara. According to some historians, the Good Friday procession, which is considered Italy's oldest religious procession, has taken place in Chieti since 842.
