San Benedetto del Tronto
In the XVII century San Benedetto del Tronto was a small fishing village and there were about 600 inhabitants. The audacity and the courage of the sailors that went forward to the most unknown shores, from Africa to Greenland, make this city one of the most important fish harbour of Italy. The old village represents the hearth of the historical centre; the fish characterization is one of the reference points in the city’s history that live by sea’s activities.
People who come to San Benedetto del Tronto should taste the famous “brodetto alla sanbenedettese”, a gastronomic expression of the old salts. The “brodetto alla sanbenedettese” must be reserved in advance because its cooking is complicated. The city is full of restaurants and typical places located in the centre, along the Palms Riviera and on the hills, that are real terraces on the sea.

In Acquaviva Picena, Monteprandone, Ripatransone and Offida it seems the time stopped. The flow of the seasons is still marked by the change of colours; in spring wheat, corn-flowers, lilies and red poppies fill the land with strong colours, while the capers rise from the old walls. In autumn along the streets of Rosso Piceno gold, black and lush clusters stand between the rows of vines.
