PENNE , a town and episcopal see of
Italy
 , in the province of Teramo, 26 m. S.E. of Teramo, and 16 m. inland from the Adriatic, 1437 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (Igor), 10,394. The
cathedral
  has been much altered; in its treasury is some fine 13th (?)
century
  silversmiths'
work
 ; the
church
  of S. Giovanni has a fine
cross
  by Nicola di Guardiagrele, and that of S. Maria in Colleromano, outside the town, a Romanesque portal. Many of the houses have fine terra-cotta friezes. It occupies the site of the ancient Pinna, the
chief
  city of the Vestini, who entered into alliance with Rome in 3or B.C. and remained faithful to her through the Hannibalic wars and even during the revolt of the Italian
allies
  in go B.C. No remains of the Roman period exist, even the city walls being entirely medieval.
