Provinces Marches
Hotels in Ascoli Piceno
Ascoli Piceno is a town in the Marche region, Italy,
capital of the province of the same name.
Ascoli Piceno owes its existence to a woodpecker that led a band of nomadic shepherds to the wedge of land between two rivers on which the city now stands.
Today the Ascolani seem initially to be reserved, as
if in obedience to the aphorisms urging moderation, hard work and
reticence that are inscribed on many of their houses. However, one taste
of the exuberance that fills the central piazza of this good-looking
medieval town in the early evening is enough to dispel such an
impression. If you come for Mardi Gras, you'll be able to participate in
the Marche's most flamboyant carnival, while on the second Saturday in
July and first Sunday in August there's the Quintana, a medieval
festival that incorporates a spectacular joust.
