San Ginesio, Le Marche and surrounding
countryside
Situated on a hill, this walled town provides an ideal position
from where to admire the Sibillini Mountains. It is hard to
describe the beauty of the landscape with the green valley below
and the towering peaks covered in snow. Although it's a hill-town,
it is rather flat inside the walls and as a town, it's as pretty as
any in Tuscany. Quaint shops and a lively square framed by
historical buildings dating back to XI century offer the visitor a
welcoming atmosphere.
During the summer a few folkloristic festivals take place and the
town seems to go back in time with actors dressed in costumes,
drums, medieval music, dances and "battles". This area offers a
great base for walking and is close to ski resorts.
