GengaGrotte di FrasassiAbisso Ancona chasm, giant stalagmites, Valadier temple hermitageCavers from Ancona found a hole in the Frasassi gorge in 1971 and lowered themselves into the Abisso Ancona, a chamber vast enough to hold Milan Cathedral. The visitor route winds past crystal pools and stalagmites the size of towers, and the octagonal Valadier temple shelters in a cliff cave nearby.
UrbinoUNESCOPalazzo Ducale di UrbinoFederico da Montefeltro's court, twin turret facade, studiolo intarsia, Piero della Francesca's FlagellationFederico da Montefeltro built the Renaissance's ideal palace, a city in the form of a residence between twin turrets. His intarsia studiolo deceives the eye in wood, and the gallery keeps Piero della Francesca's enigmatic Flagellation.
AnconaCattedrale di San CiriacoHarbor-watching hilltop church, Romanesque-Byzantine cross plan, Venus temple foundations, twelve-sided domeSan Ciriaco watches Ancona's harbor from the hill where a temple of Venus guided Greek sailors first. Its Greek-cross plan and twelve-sided dome mix Romanesque and Byzantium, the Adriatic's two shores in one church.
AnconaArco di Traiano di AnconaHarbor-mole arch of 115 AD, slender marble proportions, emperor's port gift, Apollodorus attributionTrajan enlarged Ancona's port and the city raised him its slenderest of arches on the mole itself. Ships still pass beneath the gaze of the spot where his gilded statue stood against the sea.
AnconaMonte ConeroWhite cliff over the Adriatic, Due Sorelle beach, arbutus woods, only headland of the coastThe Adriatic's flat western shore breaks just once between Trieste and the Gargano, at Conero's white limestone prow. Paths through arbutus woods end in views of the Two Sisters sea stacks on their unreachable beach.

Ascoli PicenoPiazza del Popolo di Ascoli PicenoTravertine drawing room, Caffe Meletti anisetta, Palazzo dei Capitani, evening glow stoneAscoli paved its salon in travertine that glows at dusk, ringed by Renaissance loggias and the historic Caffe Meletti. The anisetta served under its awnings has fueled the passeggiata for over a century.

GradaraCastello di GradaraPaolo and Francesca's tragedy, double walled borgo, Malatesta stronghold, Dante's fifth cantoDante put Paolo and Francesca's fatal kiss in this castle, and Gradara has embraced the fifth canto ever since.

MondavioGemma nascostaRocca Roveresca di MondavioA remarkably well-preserved 15th-century fortress commissioned c. 1492 by Giovanni Della Rovere from Francesco di Giorgio Martini, now housing two museums of arms and armour and hosting annual mid-August reenactments.
RecanatiColle dell'InfinitoLeopardi's hedge and horizon, The Infinite's birthplace, Recanati orchard walk, poetry made placeFrom this hilltop garden behind a hedge, the young Leopardi composed L'Infinito, Italy's most memorized poem. The view he imagined past the hedge remains: hills, silence and the interminable spaces beyond.
FermoCisterne Romane di FermoThirty underground chambers, Augustan waterworks, 2200 square meters intact, torchlit visitsBeneath Fermo's center, thirty connected chambers stored the Roman city's water across 2200 square meters, and they survive nearly perfect.
