Asta fabbricato a Montecassiano (MC) 62010 Sant'Egidio MC, Italia

The area sits on the rolling inland hills of the Marche between the Chienti and Potenza valleys. The Adriatic coast is the nearest coast, with the beaches around Civitanova Marche and Porto Recanati roughly 15–20 km away, so mostly outside the immediate landscape radius. Macerata is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, the Sferisterio arena, university facilities and the usual provincial services. Recanati lies nearby and is known for its historic centre and association with Giacomo Leopardi. This part of the province is known for mixed farming, hilltop towns and, toward the east, the corridor of settlements running down to the coast.
