THE CMPRENSORY OF ANCONA

Ancona, the most multifaceted city in the Marche, seaside city, port city, city of hills and tenacity. City of art, culture, history and traditions. City of people and pride.

Looking towards the Balkans and located on the promontory of Monte Conero, Ancona, in the Marche region, is a city with a mercantile soul, which developed around its ancient port. The epithet of "Doric city" comes from the Greeks coming from Syracuse who founded it in 387 BC. and they gave it the name Ankon, which in Greek means "elbow", due to the shape of the promontory on which it stands. Precisely due to its particular geographical position, Ancona is bathed by the sea both to the east and to the west and therefore sees the sun rise and set, unique among all the cities on the Adriatic coast. The exclusive relationship with the sea is one of the constants that have characterized its two-thousand-year history, characterizing the city as free and independent and with a marked disinterest in territorial expansion. Thus, over the centuries, the city often found itself defending itself with energy, but it never engaged in wars of conquest, dedicating all its energies to navigation and port activities. Among the main monuments of the city, the cathedral of San Ciriaco, with its white and pink marble facade and Greek cross plan, which dominates the city from the top of the Guasco hill. In ancient times, the city's acropolis stood here, some remains of which are still visible. Other symbols of the city are the Trajan Arch, built in 115 by Apollodorus of Damascus, and the Mole Vanvitelliana, a grandiose military building designed by Vanvitelli in the 18th century. In recent years, the Teatro delle Muse, destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt in a contemporary style, was returned to the city.

THE MARCHE - ITALY IN ONE REGION

ITALIAN SECRET

The Marche is one of Italy's best kept secrets. Sandwiched between the Adriatic and its better-known neighbors Tuscany and Umbria, this quiet, sparsely populated region has long slipped under the travel radar. However, with a string of charming hill towns and a landscape that ranges from snow-capped Apennine peaks to dreamy beaches and otherworldly caves, it's the perfect place to experience Italy without the crowds. Exceptional for their geometric shapes and imposing appearance, Italian castles are not only majestic, but absolutely gorgeous, a splendor best witnessed in person. Interestingly, no two castles are the same 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 web that extends over three millennia. This short story provides a thread to guide you through the labyrinth of this complex story. You will find more detailed local history on the individual city pages.

RESTAURANTS

The Marche region is centrally located on the eastern coast of Italy, nestled between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea. The region is characterized by a rugged mountainous hinterland and a beach-lined coastline dotted with picturesque 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 mushrooms, game, nuts and herbs, and the region's precious truffles. Coniglio 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 like hot days and you love beautiful, mild sunny days, when the sun gently caresses your skin and your senses, inviting you to spend time in the open air, why not take the opportunity of a holiday in the Marche in fall?

THE SCENT OF THE HARVEST

Especially in the first part of autumn, the scents of the harvest invade the Marche hills. The must is used to make the typical soft donuts 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, flour 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). In Montecassiano the sauce festival takes place in the last week of September. At the beginning of October, the oldest Grape Festival in Italy is held in Cupramontana: it is a celebration with food, musica, dancing and, of course, Sir Wine.

HARVESTING OF OLIVES AND OLIVE OIL

One of the most magical moments in the Marche, and in Italy in general, occurs 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 harvest the precious fruit. Don't hesitate: the new oil, with its intense green colour, 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 take the olives to the mill and watch the production of your olive oil.

THE FOLIAGE OF THE CANFAITO BEECH FOREST

If you want to have an experience of colours, then you can't miss the Canfaito beech forest: every year you can enjoy the same and always different spectacle of the beech leaves changing colour. You will feel like you are 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, uncontaminated village, where you can breathe an atmosphere of times gone by, when shepherds woke up at dawn, spent the whole day outside with their animals, eager to return home and find some warmth in front of the fireplace with their families.

MEDIEVAL VILLAGES

Visiting the numerous medieval villages scattered across the Marche can be a real challenge under the August sun, but doing so 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. It's difficult to recommend a village: just turn off the satellite navigator, follow a road less traveled and you will surely find a quiet and nice village to welcome you.

CHESTNUT FESTIVAL

The good, sweet scent of roasted chestnuts is one of the most pleasant of autumn. You can go and look for the chestnuts ourselves and then cook them at home or, if you are not sporty enough, in October there are many chestnut festivals, especially in the Sibillini area, where chestnuts are roasted along the streets and you can buy a cone. The most famous chestnut festivals in the Marche are in Smerillo and Montemonaco. Smerillo is also particularly famous for being one of the balconies of the Marche: thanks to its elevated position you can admire wide panoramas, which extend from the Sibillini mountains to the sea, passing through rolling hills and medieval villages.

TRUFFLE

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

THE CONERO AREA IN PEACE

Ok the temperature is not suitable for swimming but the Conero without the summer crowds allows you to have many experiences, from cycling to walking (we especially recommend two excursions: the viewpoint up to Passo del Lupo, and the one from the Belvedere) as well as to visit the towns of Sirolo and Numana.
