Our land
the sights of the marche and piceno
The sea, the hills and the mountains: the Marche hinterland still retains the charm of ancient times. This is an extremely diverse territory. The area around Ascoli Piceno, which ranges from the Sibillini Mountains to rich medieval villages, to the crystal-clear sea that enjoys, almost every year, the Blue Flag certification for the purity of its waters, is particularly noteworthy.
breathtaking landscapes and places
Like imposing guardians facing the sea, the Sibillini Mountains are the scenery that appears in front of your eyes as soon as you leave the coast, heading inland. It is said that right here, in a cave, lived the prophetess Sibylla and that right here, in the waters of a lake, Pontius Pilate disappeared, being dragged by buffaloes.
The entire area is included in the Monti Sibillini National Park, popular with trekking enthusiasts who are eager to challenge themselves on the peaks and in the forests further down the valley.
For some excursions in the surrounding area, we recommend some of the most beautiful ancient villages in the Marche including Grottammare, Offida, Moresco, Sarnano, San Ginesio, Corinaldo, Cingoli and Frontino.

a land rich in history
An area endlessly rich in history that also finds a way to give voice to the past with beautiful historical re-enactments, such as the famous Torneo della Quintana (the Quintana Tournament), which takes place in early August in the historic center of Ascoli, a little medieval gem that is perfectly preserved. On this occasion, figurants richly dressed in the costumes of the period walk through the streets of the center until they reach the field where the equestrian tournament takes place amid drum rolls, trumpets and flags.
Not to mention the wealth of food and wine of a land that knows that good food plays an important role in enjoying a good life. From the mountains to the sea, there are many dishes based on local products that food lovers will be able to discover, along with the fine olive oils and excellent glasses of wine that are not lacking in this area. Not to be missed are the olive all'ascolana (Ascoli stuffed olives), the real ones, and the brodetto alla sanbenedettese (sambenedettese broth).
