January 23, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

Marche (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmarke]), or the Marches /ˈmɑːrtʃɪz/, is one of the twenty regions of Italy. The name of the region derives from the plural name of marca, originally referring to the medieval March of Ancona and nearby marches of Camerino and Fermo. Marche is well known for its shoemaking tradition, with the finest and most luxurious Italian footwear being manufactured in this region.

Grotte di Frasassi

Reviewed By Daleen13 - George, South Africa

I visited these caves 12 years ago and were awestruck but could not share because no photos were allowed to be taken. We visited again in October 2019 and now you may take photos from the second hall onwards without flash. If you are in the area, do not miss it. You can buy tickets online but most tours on the hour are in Italian, Also you need to be at the meeting point half an hour before your tour commences because a shuttle bus takes you from the parking area to the entrance which is about 3 km back. English tours usually forty minutes later i.e. 11:40 but you, need to confirm at the ticket office. You have to go with a guided tour. About 1 km of walkways with some steps.

Palazzo Ducale di Urbino

Reviewed By asonymous - Madrid, Spain

A gem of Renaissance architecture that gives you a sense of the sophistication of Duke Federico and his determination to create a cultural masterpiece in his small duchy. The inner courtyard is sublime and you can visit the stables/kitchens below to get an idea of the way the palace worked. When we went there were two exhibitions in the stables/kitchens and a wonderful exhibition on the influence of Ottoman and ME culture in Italian culture. Do not miss the Galleria Nazionale (paid entrance). All in all allow 3 hours for a relaxed visit but you could do it in less.

Stunning scenery, beautiful blue sea, one of the best beaches I have ever been to, even though it was extremely crowded in August. Swimming in the sea during the hottest heatwave I have ever witnessed was an absolute delight!

Furlo Pass

Reviewed By Artemis02 - Dallas, United States

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids enjoyed several hours exploring the Furlo pass on the last Saturday in December. The landscape is stunning. It's absolutely beautiful!! There were other people in the area but it was not crowded. We had no problem parking the car at the various pull-offs and then walking along the road to explore the different spots of interest. The Etruscan and Roman tunnels were fascinating, as was the Roman-era drainage tunnel that you can still walk into and explore. We will definitely return in the summer to see the change of seasons in this lovely spot!

Parco del Conero

Reviewed By DanR266

We were introduced to Marche two years ago and just wowed by its beauty and affordability. We went back this year to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and to dig more deeply into it. Parco del Conero, like all of Marche, really is a hidden gem, especially for Americans. Beautiful hiking woods give way to breathtaking vistas. The young guide at tourist information was immensely helpful and enthusiastic.

Cattedrale San Ciriaco

Reviewed By viaggioSensoriale - Cesena, Italy

Starting from the center of Ancona, after a long uphill walk, you can admire this magnificent Romanesque cathedral. The cathedral is located right at the top of a hill overlooking Ancona from which you can see a wonderful view of the sea. Where Greek temples once dominated, Christianity has replaced them with this beautiful cathedral. Definitely worth the visit, try it at sunrise or sunset for sure and very suggestive

A great history of paper making from China 100 BC to Italy 1300’s and up to modern times. It has working machinery from the 18th century, and demonstration of early hand made methods of making paper from rags. There are many exhibits of ancient papers and documents, hundreds of watercolor paintings. It is well worth the visit. You can purchase stationery and envelopes on hand made watermarked paper in the store. The products are beautiful and reasonably priced.
