A mountain chain rising in the heart of Italy and reaching with Mt. Vettore the 2,476m. A territory where the magic of local nature, history, and culture has contributed in defining a unique and unrepeatable reality. Here, in the kingdom of the mythic Sibilla, Monti Sibillini National Park was established in 1993 (with over 70,000 ha), with the aim to safeguard the environment, promote a social and economic sustainable development, and favor the creation of a "Park for everyone". The Wolf, the Golden Eagle, the Peregrine, and a number of endemic species are the most evident elements of a biological richness which, along with the charm of the abbeys and the medieval historical town centers lying in a crown at the foot of the mountains, have shaped an old and fascinating world where time has stopped to honor a reality of extraordinary beauty.

Sightseeing
The county town.
Caffe’ Meletti, in Piazza del Popolo, is a bit of an institution.
Some people ask for their espresso coffee to be “corretto” which means with a shot of alcohol in it. I recommend to try it with some Anisetta Meletti in it (an aniseed liqueur produced in house)
To see:
-San Gregorio. (a church built over a Roman Pagan Temple)
-Cattedrale di Sant’Emidio
-Piazza Arringo (where the Palio is held in July every year)
-Museo dell’arte ceramica (painted ceramics)
-Pinacoteca Civica (Art Gallery)
-Teatro Ventidio Basso (fantastic theatre)
- Torri Gemelle (Two towers)
-Tempietto di Sant’Emidio alle Grotte
via Carso 5, 63100 Ascoli Piceno, Italia
(Church in a cave. Slightly out of town)
-Musei della Cartiera Papale (slightly out of town)
