THE AREA OF URBISAGLIA
Urbs Salvia was an ancient and great city of Piceno, a Roman colony and municipality. Today Urbisaglia, on which the Orange Flag flies, is a town that dominates the Fiastra valley, surrounded by walls, a worthy heir of that distant and glorious Roman city of which we find rich testimony in the Archaeological Park. Recognized as a regional archaeological park in 1994, it covers about 40 hectares and is the most important and spectacular in the Marche region. The visit route descends along the slope of the hill, through an easy path of about one kilometer. Thus it is possible to grasp in its entirety the structure of the Roman city, which slopes down from the hill of San Biagio until it reaches, articulated in a series of natural terraces, the flat valley floor, bordered to the east by the escarpment on the Fiastra river. It is possible to visit the reservoir, the theater, the building with niches, the temple-cryptoporticus complex dedicated to the Salus Augusta and the amphitheater built by Lucio Flavio Silva. The walls are also clearly visible, preserved for several hundred meters on three of its four sides.
In the present town, founded in the Middle Ages on the hill above, the Rocca, which was built, is of considerable interest
between the 13th and 15th centuries, trapezoidal in shape with four towers and a keep with Ghibelline battlements. Nearby is the Church of the Addolorata, with a portal of Roman origin and frescoes from the early sixteenth century and the Collegiate Church of San Lorenzo, built between 1790 and 1812, with an octagonal central plan and radial chapels. Not to be missed are: the Memorial to the fallen of all wars, the Museum of weapons and military uniforms and the State Archaeological Museum.
Not far from the inhabited center stands the Abbey of Chiaravalle di Fiastra, with the church, with its Cistercian architectural forms, the Monastery and the palace of the Giustiniani Bandini princes, who in 1773 took over the possession of the land from the Cistercian monks. The abbey is now the seat of the Abbadia di Fiastra Nature Reserve, which covers 1,825 hectares of land, and offers visitors, in addition to large and welcoming green spaces, numerous structures including the Museum of Rural Life, the Archaeological Museum and the Wine Museum. In the reserve you can walk three paths: "La Selva", "The Lake and the Veins", "The wood and the river".
Among the typical products of the area we remember the Rosso Piceno DOC wine, IGP meat, honey and craft beer.
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 M...
