Going for a tramp in the woods? “S. Marco Hill” and “Montagna dei Fiori” are the ideal choice.

…..but the thousands and thousands of tourists who flock to the Adriatic coast to have fun on the beach lined with bars and restaurants  imagine that only a few kilometres away from discos and pubs there is a paradise where art of many styles can be seen inside and out the many old buildings.

Absolutely not to be missed, in addition to the various food and wine festivals by Slow Food-Marche, the “Quintana”, the historical procession in beautiful fourteenth century costumes and the joust in the field of the games (July and August), the “White Night” Festivities (the last thing you’ll want to do in Ascoli on 10 August is sleep), the Market-Fair of Antiques (takes place monthly every 3rd weekend), the famous Carnival (between February and March), exhibition, plays, open air musical performances, medieval dinners, concerts and events in rapid succession throughout the year.
