The Le Marche region is characterized by ridges that extend from the mountains to the sea in a west-east direction. These ridges are interspersed with valleys, where a river flows at the lowest point. Economic activity is mainly concentrated in the valleys. Many hilltop villages have a counterpart in the plains, such as Montegiorgio and Piane di Montegiorgio or Falerone and Piane di Falerone. A region full of history, nature, and delicious local specialties!
