Ofena
🇮🇹 Italy
Ofena (Abruzzese: Ofenë) is a comune and town in the Province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy. It is located in the natural park known as the "Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park". The comune/village is home to a vast and rich history of a community that has existed for many hundreds of years.
A letter of Pope Simplicius dated 19 November 475 speaks of a Bishop Gaudentius of Aufinium, the Latin name by which the town was known, against whom three neighbouring bishops had laid complaints.
No longer a residential bishopric, Aufinium is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
In the southern part of the city of Ofena is the Campo Sportivo Comunale di Ofena, a public football field.
The following are the mayors of Ofena since 1998.
