- Attractions: THE FERMO AREA



The vocation of Fermo, for its history as a city of studies and for its tradition as a center of cultural exchanges in the Adriatic, has always been aimed at welcome and hospitality. The tools available to the City to continue responding to this trend are multiple and have consolidated and refined over time. First, the culture. Fermo retains an intact Renaissance urban layout which, starting from the main Piazza del Popolo - one of the most beautiful in the Marche - can be enjoyed through a series of itineraries dotted with churches, noble palaces, courtyards and artistic portals.



It offers a picture gallery full of late Gothic tables and famous for the famous "Adoration of the Shepherds" by P.P. Rubens; it houses one of the most famous libraries in Italy for its ancient book heritage, whose heart - the seventeenth-century Sala del Mappamondo - is the pride of the city.



It houses a complex underground water system which includes the Roman cisterns of the Augustan period (the largest built by the Romans by extension in square meters), whose visit is essential for anyone who comes to the city even for a few hours.



The Diocesan Museum, annexed to the splendid Cathedral with a Gothic facade, which preserves, among other pieces of excellence, the chasuble by Thomas Becket, enriches the city's museum offer; the Picena Archaeological Section of Palazzo dei Priori, which fully testifies one of the great pre-Roman Italic civilizations through unique bronze artifacts; the Oratory of Santa Monica, with a cycle of late Gothic frescoes among the most popular in the Marche.



The Scientific Museums are located in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Paccaroni, in Corso Cavour: the Polar Museum "Silvio Zavatti" unique in Italy and the "Tommaso Salvadori" Museum of Natural Sciences. A little further on, the Church of San Filippo Neri, the second Philippine foundation in the Marche region of the 17th century, thanks to the recent restoration has now become an Auditorium and exhibition hall, which hosts numerous conferences and exhibitions.



A place of excellence deserves, in the Fermo cultural offer, the eighteenth-century Teatro Comunale dell'Aquila, among the most beautiful and largest in the Marche: a prestigious environment, enriched by the historical backdrops of Alessandro Sanquirico and the central fresco by Luigi Cochetti. The structure, in addition to representing one of the most appreciated cultural assets of the city, is the site of important seasons of show: opera, symphonic, prose, according to a centuries-old tradition that has seen its scenes trodden by the biggest names on the international scene. The prestigious nineteenth-century Villa Vitali, designed by the architect Gaetano Manfredi, houses the renovated open-air theater, marking a significant part of the summer theater season.



Another strong point of Fermo and its hamlets is the landscape. Perched around the Girfalco hill, whose park is home to centuries-old trees and constitutes one of the most beautiful panoramic terraces of the Marche coast, the city has as its natural backdrop, on one side the Adriatic Sea, only eight kilometers from the urban center, from the another the suggestive scenery of a hinterland of typical towns that go with a gentle hilly landscape up to the slopes of the "blue mountains" of Leopardi's memory, the Sibillini. This privileged position means that Fermo offers a clean sea and well-equipped beaches on which to practice sailing, wind surfing and kitesurfing, such as at Lido di Fermo, in Casabianca, in Marina Palmense; it also allows tourists to enjoy the tranquility of the hinterland in farmhouses and facilities equipped for trekking, mountain biking and horseback riding, and is a natural gateway to the nearby Monti Sibillini Park. The numerous accommodation activities offer adequate solutions for all needs. From Fermo, moreover, considering the particular local production structure based on small and medium-sized enterprises, interesting and particularly refined paths are possible between company outlets of big names and craft traditions where shoes, hats, accessories and clothing make fashion and trend in the major international boutiques.



THE MARCHE - ITALY IN A REGION



ITALIAN SECRET



The Marches are one of the best kept secrets of Italy. Sandwiched between the Adriatic and its better known neighbors Tuscany and Umbria, this quiet and sparsely populated region has long slipped under the travel radar. However, with a number of lovely hill towns and a landscape that ranges from the snow-capped peaks of the Apennines to dream beaches and otherworldly caves, it's the perfect place to experience Italy without the crowds. Outstanding for their geometric shapes and imposing appearance, Italian castles are not only majestic, but utterly stunning, a splendor that is best viewed in person. Interestingly, no two castles are alike and each has unique characteristics that are related to historical events, natural environment and political changes over the centuries.



RICH HISTORY



Few countries in the world are pervaded by such a strong sense of historical continuity as Italy. From the myths surrounding the birth of the Etruscan civilization to the founding of a united Italy in the 19th century, past and present are inextricably linked in a seamless network that spans over three millennia. This short story provides a thread to guide you through the labyrinth of this complex story. You will find a more detailed local history on the individual city pages.



RESTAURANTS



The Marche is centrally located on the Italian east coast, nestled between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea. The region is characterized by a rugged mountainous hinterland and a coastline lined with beaches, dotted with picturesque seaside towns. These variations in the geography of the region are also reflected in its food; seafood is popular, along with rural delicacies such as wild mushrooms, game, nuts and herbs, and the region's precious truffles. Rabbit in porchetta, rabbit stuffed with wild fennel is a revered regional specialty, and traditional porchetta made with suckling pig and stuffed into rolls is a popular street food.



Autumn in the Marche



If you don't love hot days and love beautiful and mild sunny days, when the sun gently caresses your skin and your senses, inviting you to spend time outdoors, why not take the opportunity of a holiday in the Marche Autumn?



THE SCENT OF HARVEST



Especially in the first part of autumn, the scents of the harvest invade the hills of the Marche. With the must are made the typical soft donuts that can be found in many local pastry shops, must biscuits, perfect to serve with "vino cotto" (literally "cooked wine") and "sughetti" (a sort of polenta made from must, corn and nuts). When the must is cooked for a long time, sapa is produced: it is a sweet and sticky ingredient perfect for seasoning polenta and making cavallucci (typical local biscuit). The sughitti festival takes place in the last week of September in Montecassiano. At the beginning of October, the oldest Grape Festival in Italy is held in Cupramontana: it is a party with food, music, dancing and, of course, Sir Wine.



HARVEST OF OLIVES AND OLIVE OIL



One of the most magical moments in the Marche, and in Italy in general, takes place at the end of October / beginning of November: this is the month of the olive harvest, when you will see many people working around the olive trees to collect the precious fruit. Do not hesitate: the new oil, with an intense green color, is immediately ready to be tasted and purchased. If you have friends who have a farmhouse in the countryside with an olive grove, ask them to invite you for the harvest: it will be a nice moment to share with your friends and then you can bring the olives to the mill and watch the production of your olive oil.



THE FOLIAGE OF THE CANFAITO BEECH FOREST



If you want to experience colors, then you can't miss the Canfaito beech forest: every year you can enjoy the same and always different spectacle of the beech leaves that change color. You will feel like under a golden dome made of yellow, orange and red leaves. Enjoy a relaxing walk under the beech trees and don't forget to stop in Elcito, a tiny unspoilt village, where you can breathe an atmosphere of other times, when the shepherds woke up at dawn, spent the whole day out with their animals, eager to go home and find some warmth by the fireplace with their families.



MEDIEVAL VILLAGES



Visiting the numerous medieval villages scattered around the Marche can be a real challenge under the August sun, but doing it in autumn, when the air is still warm and the sun illuminates the stones that make up the city walls, has a totally different charm. Stroll through the alleys of the Marche villages, where a beautiful panorama awaits you at every corner. Difficult to recommend a village: just turn off the satellite navigator, follow



LE MARCHE - ITALY IN ONE REGION



ITALIAN SECRET



Le Marche is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Sandwiched between the Adriatic and its better known neighbours Tuscany and Umbria, this quiet and sparsely-populated region has long slipped under the travel radar. Yet with a string of charming hilltop towns and a landscape ranging from snow-capped Apennine peaks to dreamy beaches and otherworldly caves, it’s the perfect place to experience Italy without the crowds. Outstanding with their geometrical shapes and imposing appearance, Italian castles are not only awe-inspiring but absolutely marvelous – a splendor that is best observed in person. Interestingly, no two castles seem alike and each has unique features that correlate with historical events, natural surroundings, and political changes over the centuries.



RICH HISTORY



Few countries in the world are suffused with such a strong sense of historical continuity as Italy. From the myths that surround the birth of the Etruscan civilization to the foundation of United Italy in the 19thC, past and present are inextricably linked in a seamless web that stretches back over three millennia. This short account provides a thread to guide you through the labyrinth of this complex story. You'll find more detailed local history in the individual town pages.



RESTAURANTS



Marche is centrally located on the eastern Italian coast, nestling between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. The region is characterised by a rugged, mountainous inland and a beach-lined coast, dotted with quaint seaside towns. These variations in the region’s geography are also reflected in its food; seafood is popular, along with rural delicacies such as wild funghi, game, nuts and herbs and the region’s treasured truffles. Coniglio in porchetta, rabbit stuffed with wild fennel is a revered regional speciality, and traditional porchetta made with suckling pig and stuffed into rolls is a popular street food.



Autumn in Le Marche



If you are not fond of hot days and you love the beautiful mild sunny days, when the sun gently caresses your skin and senses, inviting you to spend time in the open air, why don’t you take the chance of a holiday in Marche in Autumn?



THE SCENT OF THE GRAPE HARVEST



Especially in the first part of autumn, the scents of the grape harvest invade the Marche hills. With must they make the typical, soft donuts that you can find in many local bakeries, must biscuits, perfect to be served with “vino cotto” (literally “cooked wine”) and “sughetti” (a kind of polenta made of must, corn flour and walnuts). When the must is cooked for a long time, sapa is produced: it is a sweet and sticky ingredient perfect for seasoning polenta and making cavallucci (a typical local biscuit). In Montecassiano the festival of sughitti is held during the last week of September. The oldest Sagra dell’Uva (wine festival) in Italy is held in Cupramontana at the beginning of October: it’s a festival with food, music, dances and, of course, Sir Wine.



OLIVE HARVEST & OLIVE OIL



One of the most magical moments in Marche, and in Italy in general, happens at the end of October / beginning of November: this is the month of the olive harvest, when you will see many people working around the olive trees to pick the precious fruit. Do not hesitate: the new oil, with its intense green color, is immediately ready to be tasted and purchased. If you have friends who have a farmhouse in the countryside with olive grove, ask them to invite you for the harvest: it will be a beautiful moment to share with your friends and then you can bring the olives to the mill and attend to the production of your own olive oil.



THE FOLIAGE OF CANFAITO BEECH FOREST



If you want to make an experience of colours, then you can’t miss the Canfaito beech forest: every year you can enjoy the same and always different show of the beech leaves changing colours. You’ll feel like under a golden dome made of yellow, orange and red leaves. Just enjoy a relaxing walk under the beech trees and don’t forget to stop by Elcito, a tiny untouched village, where you can breathe an atmosphere of old times, when shepherds woke up at dawn, spent the whole day out with their animals, longing to go back home and find some warmth in front of the fireplace with their families.



MEDIOEVAL VILLAGES



Visiting the numerous Medieval villages spotted all around Marche may be quite a challenge under the August sun, but doing it in Autumn, when the air is still warm and sun lights up the stones that make up the town walls, has a totally different appeal. Stroll through the narrow streets of the Marchigiano towns, where a beautiful panorama awaits you at every corner. Difficult to recommend a village: just switch off your satellite navigator, follow a less traveled road and certainly you will find a quiet and nice village waiting to welcome you.



CHESTNUT FESTIVAL



The good and sweet smell of roasted chestnuts is one of the nicest in autumn. You can go yourself to look for chestunts and then cook them at your place or, if you are not sporty enough, there are many chestnut festivals in October, especially in the Sibillini area, where people roast chestunts along the roads and you can buy a cone. The most famous chestnut festivals in Marche are in Smerillo and Montemonaco. Smerillo is particularly famous also for being one of the balconies of Marche: thanks to its elevated position, you can admire wide open views, stretching from the Sibillini mountains to the sea, passing through the rolling hills and medieval villages.



TRUFFEL



Autumn also offers another delicious, sought-after and highly appreciated product: truffles. Two are the most important events in Marche dedicated to truffles: the National Fair of White Truffle in Acqualagna and Diamanti a Tavola in Amandola, dedicated to the precious white truffles of the Sibillini. The most famous chestnut festivals in Marche are in Smerillo and Montemonaco. Smerillo is particularly famous also for being one of the balconies of Marche: thanks to its elevated position, you can admire wide open views, stretching from the Sibillini mountains to the sea, passing through the rolling hills and medieval villages.



THE CONERO AREA IN PEACE



Ok the temperature is not suitable for a swim but the Conero without the crowds of summer allows you to make many experiences, from cycling to walking (we especially recommend two trips: the viewpoint up to Passo del Lupo, and that from the Belvedere) as well as visiting the villages of Sirolo and Numana.
