Le Marche Italy Travel Articles
The Italians have known about Le Marche
for years, particularly its sun-kissed Adriatic waters which they swarm
to every July and August. But beyond that, it remains off the tourist
radar, although that’s been changing recently. In his 1957
book Viaggio in Italia,
Guido
Piovene had this to say:
“Italy, with its range of landscapes, is a distillation of
the world; the Marche is a distillation of
Italy.” There’s surprise and delight
around each corner. In between the pebble and sand beaches on its
112-mile coastline and the peaks of the Sibillini mountain
range lies a variety of character, culture, and cuisine that turns each
day’s experiences into a journey of discovery. The
region’s jewel in the crown is Urbino,
northern university town and birthplace of Renaissance master, Raphael. At
the opposite end of the region lies Ascoli
Piceno, capital of the
southernmost province of the same name. A city of quiet elegance and
style, it boasts one of the most breathtaking piazzas in all of Italy.
Every August, its travertine flagstones play host to an authentic
medieval jousting festival. The following articles are
