'''Martese''' is a "[[frazione]]" (hamlet) in the commune of [[Rocca Santa Maria]] in the [[Province of Teramo]], Italy.


==Geography==
The village sits at an elevation of approximately 3270 feet above sea level. The distance by car to Rocca Santa Maria is less than one mile. The infrequently used road between these two towns is steep and rather primitive. It can be found just off the provincial highway (SP 48) that leads from Teramo to [[Ceppo]] via [[Rocca Santa Maria]] and [[Bosco Martese]]. The old town center is composed of a small cluster of houses. As was the custom of the day a small church sits nearby and off to itself.
