Casale dell oro

The area is a belt of cultivated hills between the Tenna and Ete Morto valleys in the inland Fermo province, with views toward the Sibillini range on clearer days. The Monti Sibillini lie to the west, with the Sibillini Mountains National Park beginning farther into the interior. The nearest larger town is Fermo, which has a cathedral, a substantial historic centre and the Roman Cisterne. This part of southern Marche is known for hat-making, and Montappone itself is associated with that craft.
