モンテロベルトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Great promenade

One of the city's most important squares is Piazza Federico II. It was named after Emperor Frederick II, who was born there in a tent on December 26, 1194. In ancient times, the Roman Forum was located on this site.

The church was originally located outside the city walls of Jesi. It first appears in 1221 in a praeceptum of Frederick II, written in favor of the Fonte Avellana monastery.

The city's most famous son is Emperor Frederick II Barbarossa, who was born here on the main square.

Giovanni Battista Percolesi was born in Jesi. He was an Italian composer, a leading representative of the transition from the Baroque to the Classical period; he is considered one of the greatest Italian musicians of the first half of the 18th century.

The monument is composed of a stone and a sculptural group in memory of 7 boys shot by the Nazi-Fascists on June 20, 1944. On the stone are reported the names in a parchment engraved in the marble; underneath are sculpted flower arrangements and a funeral lamp with a burning flame. Above the stone stands a cross wrapped in creepers on whose base is the name Rossi Dino di Jesi (to whom we owe the creation of the stone itself). Next to the stone is a statuary group, depicting three frightened, suffering and desperate men, the work of the sculptor Ippoliti from 1988.
