| The
Marches is a territory that is rich in
artistic heritage,
an area that is famous for its
inspirational landscapes
and the birth place of distinguished personalities. But the
Marches is still a well kept secret
to the wider world. The charm of the Marches is a landscape of sunny plains,
that is dotted with little villages,
precious churches and large basilicas also isolated fortified centres
in reach of populated Cities. Within
just a few minutes you can reach some small towns that are fascinating
for their historic and
artistic heritage.
Like San Ginesio, Urbisaglia –well known for the Roman ruins and the
wonderful Abbey of Fiastra-, furthermore Camerino and San Severino,
two cities of importance for Renaissance art of the Marches, and last
but not least Tolentino with its famed basilica of Saint Nicola.
At the
small village of
Serrapetrona,
which you can reach by foot in about 15 minutes, stands the church
of Saint Franciscus.
Inside you can see an enormous altarpiece of Lorenzo d’Alessandro (end 15th century). At Castel
S. Venanzio you can admire the painted “Crucifixion” of Giovanni Angelo
d'Antonio, an
important painter from Camerino who worked in the area in the 15th century. In
the nearby village Belforte del Chienti is another imposing artwork
of that period, made by Giovanni Boccati for the church of Saint Eastachio. Towards the North of Serrapetrona lies the city of Urbino –the cradle of Renaissance culture- where you can find the National Gallery of the Marches- and Loreto with its fortified basilica that looks over the sea.
If you would like to spend a day on the beach it takes
just half an hour to reach
the Adriatic sea.
There’re
various attractive
seaside
places
like Civitanova Marche, Porto Recanati and Numana with beach tents,
bars and disco’s.
There are also quiet remote beaches like 'le due sorelle' and 'sassi
neri'. The most unspoilt
beautiful beach is at Conero.
The Conero is surrounded by a National
Park and from
the rocks
the view is magnificent.
