Ascoli Piceno

Ascoli Piceno is a historic city in the Marche region of central Italy, set in a valley where the Tronto river meets the hills below the Apennines, close to the Adriatic coast and the borders of Abruzzo and Lazio. It is known for its travertine-built centre, with a noted main square and medieval towers, and for a quiet, locally rooted way of life. Property seekers are drawn by the compact historic core, the surrounding countryside and hill towns, and easy access to both mountains and sea.
