The Marches region Tour

The Marches region Tour DESCRIPTION The name of the region derives from the plural name of marca, originally referring to the medieval March of Ancona and nearby marches of Camerino and Fermo. Marche is well known for its shoemaking tradition, with fine and luxurious Italian footwear manufacturing facilities in the region. The Marche region of eastern Italy rises between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic Sea. The capital, Ancona, is a port city on the Conero Riviera, an area characterized by sandy coves, limestone cliffs and medieval villages. Pesaro, on the other hand, is the birthplace of the famous composer Rossini. Inland there are ancient fortifications at the top of the hills and glacial valleys of the Monti Sibillini National Park.
