Maiolati Spontini

The Esino Valley defines the setting of Maiolati Spontini — its historic centre occupies a hillside above the cultivated interior of Marche. The municipality adopted its present name in 1879 in honour of Gaspare Spontini, the opera composer born here in 1774 and known for works including La vestale. The surrounding hills form part of the wider Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine country, where vineyards are a lasting feature of the local economy. This is a quietly rural place between the Apennines and the Adriatic coast.
