Marche: Welcome to Italy

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.
