Ascoli Piceno

What a great little town. We stayed here for two nights on our trip to Le Marche region. Quite sleepy in the daytime but after eight o'clock the locals come out for the Passeggiare.

Passeggiare

The people came out to stroll in their nice clothes, walking their dogs, pushing kids in buggy's, riding their bikes. They chat, drink coffee and generally socialize until after midnight. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

This Marche area has a lot to offer at half of the price of Tuscany. The hill towns, scenery, adriatic coast resorts are gorgeous and restaurants and shops are much cheaper. People are very friendly and Ascoli is a good base to explore it all.
