Art in Le Marche
Piero della Francesca at Urbino
Marche is a territory that is rich in artistic heritage, an area that is
famous for its inspirational landscapes and the birth place of distinguished
personalities. But Marche is still a well kept secret to the wider world.
The charm of Marche is a landscape of sunny plains, that is dotted with
little villages, precious churches and large basilicas also isolated fortified
centres in reach of populated Cities. Sibillini area is a beautiful area
of the Marches in the territory of the National
Park of the Sibillini Mountains.
In the winter you can ski in these mountains and in the summer you can make
excursions by foot, by mountain bike or by horse. Within just a few minutes
you can reach some small towns that are fascinating for their historic and
artistic heritage. Like San Ginesio, Urbisaglia –well known for the Roman
ruins and the wonderful Abbey of Fiastra-, furthermore Camerino and San
Severino, two cities of importance for Renaissance art of the Marches, and
last but not least Tolentino with its famed basilica of Saint Nicola with
wonderful fresco's. At the small village of Serrapetrona, the church of
Saint Franciscus houses an important altarpiece of Lorenzo d’Alessandro
(end 15th century). At Castel S. Venanzio you can admire the painted “Crucifixion”
of Giovanni Angelo d'Antonio, Renaissance painter from Camerino who worked
a lot in the area. In the village Belforte del Chienti another imposing
artwork of that period, painted by Giovanni Boccati for the church of Saint
Eastachio. Towards the North lies the city of Urbino – the cradle of Renaissance
culture- where you can find the National Gallery of Marche- and Loreto with
its fortified basilica that overlooks the sea. If you would like to spend
a day on the beach it takes just half an hour to reach the Adriatic sea.
There are various attractive seaside places, like Civitanova Marche, Porto
Recanati and Numana with beach tents, bars and disco’s.
There are also quiet remote beaches like 'le due sorelle' and 'sassi neri'.
The most unspoilt beautiful beaches are at the Park
of the Conero. The Conero is surrounded by a National Park and from
the rocks the view is magnificent. Sibillini area is situated within easy
reach by car from the West side of the cities Perugia and Assisi [one hour].
Florence, Siena and Rome are about three hours driving from us.
