Colle San Giacomo

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of the most beautiful asphalt climbs in the area, the one towards Colle San Giacomo was also tackled by the Giro d'Italia: the last time in 2021, when Gino Mader won here. Here you are at about 1,100 meters, near the ski resort of Monte Piselli.

Castel Trosino

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lombards settled on this easily defended rocky ridge high above the Castellano river. The necropolis left by the Germans is truly special and is one of the greatest finds of the early Middle Ages. Later, the monastery played an important role and gave the economy a new boost, until it came under the administration of the city of Ascoli between the 12th and 14th centuries. The high rocky ridge gives the place a special character. The village is accessed through the only remaining gate and is characterized by a series of narrow streets that connect the various squares until they meet at the church of San Lorenzo with its bell tower. Every space has been skilfully used by the various houses that have arisen over the centuries. They are anchored in the rocks and lean against each other. This has created several breathtaking views in the few gaps between the houses, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding panorama.

Historic Center of Ascoli Piceno

Highlight • Historical Site

Ascoli Piceno is a city of remarkable medieval beauty located in the Marche region. Considered among the most monumental in Italy, this city stands out for its architecture and unique historical heritage. Characterized by towers and bell towers, the historic center is embellished by the warm golden color of travertine, a material that covers most of its streets. The location of the town is particularly suggestive, as it is surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Tronto and Castellano rivers, which converge at this point. The history of Ascoli Piceno embraces different eras, from the ancient times of the Romans to the period of Frederick II and beyond.
