Short trip to Ascoli Piceno and surroundings

In Ascoli, the Renaissance triumphs in Piazza del Popolo, but here you can also immerse yourself in the artistic atmosphere of the Ventidio Basso Theater. If you choose to take a trip out of town to Macerata, travertine slabs and frescoes with mythological scenes will fascinate you inside the eighteenth-century Palazzo Buonaccorsi. If you like theatrical art, you will not be disappointed: you can admire the sumptuous Lauro Rossi Theater or attend a classical music show at the Sferisterio Arena. Do you prefer to go back in time? In this case we suggest you take an excursion to the medieval village of Fermo: visit the ancient Roman cisterns and the Sala del Mappamondo ("Room of World map") in Palazzo dei Priori.

Ascoli Piceno

Ascoli, a city to explore, with liquors to be enjoyed

Called the city of travertine thanks to the historic centre built with this white stone, Ascoli is a splendid city waiting to be discovered - as well as home to succulent olives. Start from Piazza del Popolo, an example of Renaissance architecture that comes alive at night, then visit Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo and the Church of San Francesco before sipping a coffee - corrected with the typical liqueur, Ansietta - in the historic Caffè Meletti. Don't miss Piazza Arringo and the Baptistery.

  • Enjoy a stroll in the ancient Piazza del Popolo
  • Visit Palazzo dei Capitani
  • Don't miss the characteristic Church of San Francesco
