Viale Marche, 40, Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata

This is the lower Tronto valley at the foot of the southern Marche hills, with the Monti della Laga and the Sibillini group visible farther inland rather than inside the immediate area. The Tronto river runs nearby, and the landscape within reach is mainly a settled valley floor with cultivated slopes and small ridges between Ascoli Piceno and the Abruzzo border. Ascoli Piceno is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, major piazzas and Romanesque and medieval fabric. The area is known for mixed farming and vineyards in the Tronto valley.
