Le Marche (the only Italian region with a plural name) is truly a beautiful territory or, as politicians and economists say, one big town. This is the geographic frame. Its picture has been painted by the history and the different civilizations and their magnificence: castles, abbeys, churches, museums, buildings, squares, villas and monuments which make the Marches an intensely rich region. There are no empty spaces, everywhere there is a building to admire, a painting to appreciate, a curious event to notice. The richness of the region is constituted by the concentration of natural resources (a varied Flora, a typical fauna, one of the most impress-ive Italian landscapes), of architectonic remains, historical testimonies and extraordinary cultural resources.

In the southern parts of the province of Pesaro and Urbino, you can find the Catria and Cesano Mountain Community, an area that is rich in traditions, works of art and beautiful landscapes.
The surrounding countryside and the green hills define the basin of Cesano. With very little industry, the countryside has remained intact; the inhabitants live in harmony contributing to the life of the park. The Catria and Cesano Mountain Community, the most recently established in the Marches, includes the towns of Frate Rosa, San Lorenzo in Campo, Pergola, Serra Sant’Abbondio, and Frontone.
