The central historical part of the city is built in marble called travertino, a grey-hued stone extracted from the surrounding mountains. Its central Renaissance square, Piazza del Popolo ("Square of the People") is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy. According to traditional accounts, Ascoli Piceno was home to more than two hundred towers in the Middle Ages: today some fifty can still be seen.
You can visit the Caffè Meletti, in Ascoli Piceno’s Piazza del Popolo, which is considered the “congress” of anisetta. With its Art Nouveau decor, this is indeed the most noteworthy “institutional” place where the anice-based liquor, first manufactured by a businessman called Silvio Meletti, can be enjoyed.
Here, since the early 20th century, the first item on patrons’ agenda is always the “anisetta con la mosca”, literally meaning “with the fly” – the “fly” being a roasted coffee bean, immersed in the sweet alcoholic distillate.
Hemingway, Mascagni, Guttridge, Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir were amongst the most illustrious “representatives” that enjoyed the locale. The people of Ascoli Piceno consider the square and this building – built in the late 19th century to accommodate the town’s Post Office, and transformed by Meletti in an elegant commercial operation between 1905 and 1907 – a unique venue for social life.

The splendid City of Loreto, tucked inside the countryside of the Marches Region, owes its fame to the Sanctuary (or Basilica) where the Santa Casa della Vergine Maria (Shrine of the Holy House of the Virgin Mary) is preserved and venerated.
