Garrano Basso is a frazione (suburb or surrounding village) of the commune of Teramo. It is located in the Abruzzo Region of Italy.
Garrano Basso is home to the dynastic Palumbi family who still have extensive holdings in this area. The small village is located about 5 km north of Teramo, a city in the central Italian region of Abruzzo, the capital of the province of Teramo. Teramo istself is situated near the confluence of the Vezzola and Tordino rivers and is a very old city, founded in pre-Roman times, though the general aspect is more recent due to many 19th- and 20th century buildings. For a long period of time, Teramo was a border place between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Papal States, and therefore acquired a distinct identity. Largely because of the difficulty with communications to the other parts of Italy, it also remained fairly isolated. The completion of the Gran Sasso tunnel allowed Teramo to increasingly move away from this isolation.
The economy of the area is mostly based on activities connected with agriculture and commerce, as well as a sound industrial sector: textiles, foods, engineering, building materials and ceramics. Teramo can easily be reached from the A14 autostrada or, in about two hours by car from Rome via the A24 autostrada.
