Paganica is a hillside town in the province of L'Aquila, in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy. located at 669 meters above sea level, at the foot of the Gran Sasso d'Italia, about 7 kilometers east of the historic center, along the state road 17 bis that from Bazzano climbs to Campo Imperatore passing for Tempèra, Camarda, Assergi and Fonte Cerreto, with a population of about 5 000 inhabitants, making it the largest fraction of the city, as well as of considerable economic importance. It is a frazione of the comune of L'Aquila (which is some 7 km far), and has a population of about 5,000.
On April 6, 2009, the center was hit by a disastrous earthquake which caused heavy damage to the town (including a burst water pipe, which caused a landslide), resulting in an almost total evacuation. In 2011 the restoration works began, which have recovered part of the historical heritage, and the influx of the population.
An old Roman city, in 1254 its citizens took part in the foundation of L'Aquila by Manfred of Sicily. Until 1927 it was an autonomous municipality merged, with others, into L'Aquila.
On April 6, 2009, Paganica was severely damaged, with 70 percent of its buildings destroyed, as a result of the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake.[1] The earthquake's epicenter was along the road between L'Aquila and Paganica,[2] Paganica being the closest town to the epicenter.[3]

Corsa del cappello
The Corsa del cappello (Hat Race) is a relay race in which the baton to be exchanged is a hat. A similar competition took place in past centuries during the Feast of Sant'Antonio Abate (January 17).[4] Many years ago the event was reborn and the contending teams come from the four historic districts of the country. More recently, it was extended to the hamlets of the former municipality of Paganica. For many years the race has been held in mid-July, within numerous events.
