Serenissima in Porto San Giorgio
Porto San Giorgio is the ancient Navale Firmanorum and is characterized by an upstream part with the Castello district and the Rocca and, beyond the state road, by the marina.
Rocca Tiepolo stands mighty and lonely with its keep and walls with Guelph battlements, protected by tall maritime pines. It was the governor of Fermo Lorenzo Tiepolo, future Doge of Venice, who had the severe fortifications built in 1267 to defend the villages and ships, which had already been trading with Dalmatia for some time. The Saracen galleys, always in ambush, in fact plowed the gulf of the Serenissima from north to south with frequent raids and raids in the Piceno. Every summer the town remembers the period of the Venetian podestà with the Doge's Day.
To see: the historic Vittorio Emanuele Theater of the early nineteenth century, the nineteenth-century Church of San Giorgio, the Villa Bonaparte, the Baroque Church of Suffragio. There are numerous elegant buildings that intertwine with the most popular alleys, green corners and squares alternate with brand new buildings. The promenade is enriched with centenary palms, enhanced with flooring and lighting which are the evocative frame of the Art Nouveau buildings.
