! VADEMECUM FOR THE TOURIST OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM
Discovering THE MARCHE REGION
MARCHE
Italy’s Land of Infinite Discovery
“...For me the Marche is the East,
the Orient, the sun that comes
at dawn, the light in Urbino
in Summer...”
Mario Luzi (Poet, 1914-2005)
Overlooking the
Adriatic Sea in the centre of Italy,
with slight-
ly more than a million and a half inhabitants spread among its
five provinces of
Ancona, the regional seat, Pesaro and
Urbino, Macerata, Fermo
and
Ascoli Piceno
, with just one in
four of its municipalities containing more than five thousand
residents, the
Marche
, which has always been Italyʼs
“Gateway to the East”, is the countryʼs only region with a plu-
ral name. Featuring the mountains of the
Apennine
chain,
which gently slope towards the
sea
along parallel valleys, the
region is set apart by its rare beauty and noteworthy figures
such as Giacomo Leopardi, Raphael, Giovan Battista
Pergolesi, Gioachino Rossini, Gaspare Spontini, Father
Matteo Ricci and Frederick II, all of whom were born here.
This guidebook is meant to acquaint tourists of the third mil-
lennium with the most important features of our territory, con-
vincing them to come and visit Marche.
Discovering the Marche means taking a path in
search of
beauty
; discovering the Marche means getting to know a
land of excellence
, close at hand and just waiting to be
enjoyed. Discovering the Marche means discovering a
region where both culture and the environment are very
much a part of the
Made in Marche
brand.

GEOGRAPHY
On one side the Apennines,
on the other the Adriatic
coast, and in the middle an
expanse of gentle hills atop
which sit century-old vil-
lages protected by
medieval walls: this is
the
Marche, also called the
Marches
, the region with
the plural name, bordering
to the north with Emilia
Romagna; to the south with
the Abruzzi and Latium; to
the east with the Adriatic
Sea, and to the west with
Umbria and Tuscany. With
an area of 9,366 km
2
, the
Marche is divided into five
provinces (Ancona, Pesaro
and Urbino, Macerata,
Fermo, Ascoli Piceno) with
239 municipalities. Known
as “Italy in one region”, the
Marche region contains
three types of territory:
mountain, hill and coast.
THE CLIMATE
The regionʼs climate is as
diversified as the lay of the
land is varied. The average
temperature ranges from
10°C to 15°C, with temper-
ature changes of between
5° to 13° C. Along the coast,
the climate is subcontinen-
tal north of Ancona with
sharp shifts in temperature
between the seasons: sum-
mers are hot but rarely
humid, thanks to the
breezes and the cool air
from the hills set back from
the sea, while winters are
cold, with the rains typical of
the season. Due to the
Monte Conero promontory,
the climate south of Ancona
is subcoastal, presenting
increasingly Mediterranean
features further south, in
the direction of the Riviera
delle Palme. The best peri-
od for beach tourism is July
and August. The climate in
the inland areas is harsh in
winter, making it advisable
to visit villages, parks and
other sites in those areas in
Spring and Autumn. Sum-
mers in the mountain areas
are cool, and the Winters
are rather brisk, with snow-
fall that allows enthusiasts
to take to skiing and
engage in other winter
sports.
MOUNTAINS
AND PASSES
More than 90,000 acres of
Marche,
almost 10% of the
total regional territory
, are
protected
. There are
2
national parks
(Monti
Sibillini and Gran Sasso
plus Monti della Laga),
4
regional parks
(Monte
Conero, Sasso Simone e
