Ascoli Piceno

Ascoli Piceno occupies a spur between the Castellano and Tronto rivers in southern Marche, and their confluence has shaped its compact historic centre. Streets and squares are built largely from pale local travertine, giving the old city a remarkably unified character. Piazza del Popolo is the civic focal point, framed by the Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo and the church of San Francesco. Ascoli is also known for olive all’ascolana: green olives stuffed with meat, breaded and fried, a staple of local cooking. Beyond the river valleys, the province extends toward the Sibillini Mountains and the Adriatic coast.
