Cappelle sul Tavo (Abruzzese: Li Cappélle) is a comune and town in the Province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of Italy.
History
Cappelle sul Tavo has been an independent municipality since 1905.[4] Previously, it was part of the municipality of Montesilvano.
The name probably derives from a number of small "cappelle" (chapels) among the woods. The name "Cappelle" also appears in documents of the 11th and 14th centuries[5] and is represented in the emblem of the town, showing two Gothic chapels.
