Subjects : Ascoli Piceno is an Italian town of about 60,000 inhabitants located in the extreme south of the Marche; It is strategically located 30km from the Adriatic Sea and 30Km from the Gran Sasso Monti della Laga National Park. Walking in its historic center among paved alleys with the pebbles of the Tronto river, and its monuments built in local travertine offers numerous photographic opportunities and interesting perspectives. The fulcrum of all is the splendid Piazza del Popolo, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. Around noble palaces, Roman ruins, squares and churches are the best opportunity to discover the countless historical-artistic testimonies, ranging from the Roman period, through the medieval-Lombard period until the Renaissance and that make Ascoli Piceno one of the cities artistically more interesting in the national scene.

Recommended equipment : Tripod, wide angle and standard zoom (24-70) or equivalent fixed. Some glimpses and details that would benefit from the use of a medium canvas are interesting.

Best months : All year round, every season has its own peculiarities and its colors and the city is beautiful all year round. Consider that the buildings of the historic center are all travertine and on summer evenings release all the heat accumulated during the day.

How to get there : For those coming from the Adriatic side: Highway A14, exit "San Benedetto del Tronto" and take the fast road that leads straight to Ascoli Piceno. From the Tyrrhenian side you have to take the SS4 Salaria that from Rome, via Rieti, reaches Ascoli Piceno passing the Apennines. The nearest airports are those of Ancona and Pescara. Ascoli Piceno has its own train station and daily trains connecting it to both Ancona and San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic coast.

Visits : Unmissable Piazza del Popolo, otherwise no limitation, free entry to most of the sites of interest. For entries to the various monuments and museums, refer to their respective websites.

Notes : in July and August there is the Giostra della Quintana, a historical re-enactment with more than 4000 people in medieval costume parading through the streets of the city center up to the playground where the six knights challenge each other
