City
Ascoli Piceno
Known as the ‘piccola Siena’ for architecture reminiscent of its more famous Tuscan sister, Ascoli Piceno is situated at the southern borders of Le Marche. The exquisite square is often described as the most perfect in Italy thanks to its proportions and its glistening travertine paving. The 12th century Duomo, Teatro Ventidio Basso and the archaeological museum are well worth visiting, as are the local restaurants. For those looking to explore beyond the normal tourist trail, we highly recommend including a stay here as part of a tailor-made holiday.
