Via Giuseppe Verdi, 18, Montecassiano

This is a hill area of the lower Marche between the Potenza and Chienti valleys, with cultivated ridges, fields and scattered farmhouses. The nearest river landscape is the Potenza valley to the north and the Chienti corridor to the south. Montecassiano itself is a walled hill town, and within this radius Recanati is the nearest larger historic town, with a substantial old centre and Leopardi associations. Macerata is also nearby, with full town services and the Sferisterio arena. The Adriatic coast around Porto Recanati and Civitanova Marche is outside the immediate landscape but close enough to matter for daily logistics. This part of the Marche is known for mixed farming and hill towns between the coast and the Apennines.
