Located at an altitude of 855 m above sea level in the Umbria-Marche Apennines, Accumoli is an enclave within the province of Ascoli Piceno. Until 1927, it was part of the province of AquilainAbruzzo.
The climate is typical internal Apennines with cold, snowy winters and summers almost never too hot.
The town has its origins in the 12th century, when the territory in the Valle del Tronto was ruled by the Normans and later the Kingdom of Naples.
On 24 August 2016, numerous buildings were destroyed and damaged by the Central Italy earthquake.[3]
