What to see in the province of Fermo
Fermo Piazza del Popolo. It is the symbolic place of Fermo: beautiful and snubbed. Outside the region they speak of it as one of the most beautiful squares in Italy; in the city and in the surrounding area it often evokes only memories of adolescent 'pools'. Yet it is a magical place. Kissed by the sun or warmed by a thousand lights after sunset, it offers unique suggestions. Under the arcades and in the alleys it gives life to, there are several places where you can stop and eat and drink something: bars, pizzerias and wine bars with a unique atmosphere. The splendid municipal library with the Mappamondo room and the antiques market deserve a mention, which animates summer evenings in the heart of the city on Thursdays.

Silence, peace and serenity to breathe deeply, up to the hermitage of San Leonardo. Wonderful colors in autumn.
