In honour of today's Giro stage 10 which passed through Roseto degli Abruzzi at 77.3km to go here are four routes I've ridden when based there for a cycling holiday.
It's a lovely little holiday resort mainly used by Italians rather than other nationalities. I was 100 metres from the beach and would walk my wife there and leave her for the day then head off into the mountains. It's easy to get up to 1,000 m altitude within 30km of the town and then head back down and hook up with my wife for lunch and dipping my toes in the warm Adriatic.
I've spent a week there in May and in September and it's a lovely, comfortable 25C.

Lake and back
Talking Italian (shortened version of lake and back route)
Bonus video of one of the rides where my italian cycling buddy who owns the property I stayed in hooked me up with his local riding group. I don't speak Italian and they didn't speak much English but we still managed to get a great Sunday morning ride in.
I don't mean to stereotype but we started with a coffee, rode to a coffee stop and then finished with a coffee. We also caught similar rain to that experienced on today's stage although the rest of the week was bone dry and sunny.

Edit: I realised I had a fourth route so have added this too
