Culture

They say that Le Marche is all of Italy in one province, and it is certainly one of the greenest, prettiest, friendliest, and most civilized corners of Italy. The region is relatively undiscovered, yet surprisingly accessible. 

The region is flanked on its western side by the Sibillini mountains; which are one of the highest sections of the Appenines, are 40km long and contain 20 peaks in excess of 2000m. Between, mountain and sea, the landscape consists of vine-clad hills, medieval villages and a rich mosaic of farmland. The whole area is a walkers and cyclists paradise with many mountain paths and guided walks, and the stunning array of wildlife and wild flowers will appeal to twitchers and nature lovers.

The Marchiaghiani, or people of Le Marche, remain closely linked to the land and life here is centred on family and the self-sufficient communities of farmers and craftsmen, where the local market consumes most of the local produce. 

The wonderful medieval towns offer the visitor an amazing range of historic architecture, that ranges from Art Nouveaux villas to characteristic stone cottages, and are home to wonderful art, over 1000 working theatres, fantastic markets and year round festas where you can sing and dance, eat and drink great local fayre, and enjoy the local crafts and customs
