フィロットラーノのおすすめライド

The road that connects Montefano and Filottrano offers a suggestive view of a landscape characterized by gentle slopes, vineyards and cultivated fields. Here you can admire a typical rural expanse, with ancient villages scattered among the countryside and the hills of the Marche hinterland, while the mixed vegetation of olive groves and agricultural crops blends harmoniously with the more distant mountainous landscapes.

Positioned in the valley of the Monocchia stream, exactly halfway between the sea and the mountains, Appignano has a well-preserved medieval centre, still embraced by the ancient city walls, surmounted by a cusped bell tower dating back to the fifteenth century. An agricultural and industrial centre, the town is renowned for its ceramic craftsmanship, a tradition that has endured for more than 500 years, and is famous for the production and sale of furniture. Its origins are ancient, dating back to the era of Roman domination. From this point, you can enjoy a splendid view of the village, nestled among the rolling hills.

A beautiful medieval town. Filottrano is also sadly known for being the town of the great cyclist Scarponi, winner of the 2011 Giro d'Italia and who died in the streets of his town due to an accident.

The name "Balcony of the Marche" is not given by chance. From the raised walls of the town you can enjoy a view that ranges from Mount Conero to the Adriatic Sea.

Unfortunately this is the point where a great champion Michele Scarponi left us
