This tour focuses on southern Marche, beginning at the Adriatic coast and then venturing inland along the Via Salaria towards the Sibillini Mountains on the border with Umbria and Lazio, areas that are still recovering from the devastating earthquake in 2016. The point of departure is <a href=\"https:\/\/letsmarche.it\/en\/-\/grottammare-alta-2\">Grottammare Alta<\/a>, which is included in the circuit of the \u2018<em>borghi<\/em> <em>pi\u00f9 belli d\u2019Italia\u2019<\/em> or \u2018most beautiful villages in Italy\u2019 and is affectionately called \u201cthe old fortified town\u201d. It features the remains of an 11th-century fortress and the 18th-century Palazzo Fenili, which once hosted the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. The village is also notable for being the birthplace of Pope Sixtus V and, more recently, renowned artist and sculptor Pericle Fazzini. From here, our route takes us away from the sea. After passing Petrella, you will arrive at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitripatransone.it\/en\/\">Ripatransone<\/a>, often described as \u2018the Belvedere of Piceno\u2019, which claims to have the narrowest alley in Italy (between 38 and 43 centimetres wide), five museums, several monumental churches and one of Marche\u2019s 73 historic theatres. The next stop is <a href=\"https:\/\/letsmarche.it\/en\/-\/montefiore-dell-aso-2\">Montefiore dell\u2019Aso<\/a>, another member of the most beautiful villages in Italy, this time known as the \u2018hill of painters\u2019; this is where the admirable <a href=\"https:\/\/cultura.gov.it\/luogo\/polo-museale-di-san-francesco\">Polo Museale di San Francesco<\/a> is located within a Franciscan convent. It houses a valuable Polyptych by Carlo Crivelli, a Venetian artist who later adopted Ascoli as his home. If you plan to spend a little longer in this area, we recommend you consider staying at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agriturismolacampana.it\/en\/\">Agriturismo La Campana<\/a>, which offers accommodation, a restaurant, a swimming pool and a one-hectare park. Heading further south through the hills, our route takes us to Offida, the main wine-producing centre of the Ascoli province and home to the <a href=\"https:\/\/letsmarche.it\/en\/-\/enoteca-regionale-delle-marche\">Marche Regional Wine Cellars<\/a>, situated in a 14th-century monastery. Offida is famous for its lace-making traditions, and indeed its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turismoffida.com\/en\/museo-del-merletto.html\">Museo del Merletto<\/a> museum showcases a tradition that dates back to the 15th century and later became the main activity of the village, thanks to the work carried out by the Benedictine nuns.<br \/>\nThis ancient heritage is still preserved today by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilmerlettodioffida.it\/\">Il Merletto di Offida<\/a> association, composed of a group of skilled lace-makers, who continue to employ old techniques and stitches such as Renaissance point, Venetian point and antique point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our journey through the province of Ascoli takes us through its ancient villages and past [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":17541,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[493,564],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marche-en","category-territories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marche - Ascoli and the Historical Residences of Piceno | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/ascoli-and-the-historical-residences-of-piceno\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Marche - Ascoli and the Historical Residences of Piceno | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Our journey through the province of Ascoli takes us through its ancient villages and past [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/ascoli-and-the-historical-residences-of-piceno\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-09-18T14:10:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:15:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MontefioreDellAso2-ph-Ignacio-Maria-Coccia.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/ascoli-and-the-historical-residences-of-piceno\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/ascoli-and-the-historical-residences-of-piceno\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Marche &#8211;
