Contrada Vaglie, 25, Pollenza

The cluster sits in the hilly interior of the Marche, an area of rolling agricultural hills with olive groves, vineyards and arable fields. The Apennine foothills lie to the west; the higher Monti Sibillini are further inland. The nearest town of size is Macerata (provincial capital) to the south, with a university, a railway station, shops and the open‑air opera arena Il Sferisterio. The Adriatic coast (Civitanova Marche, Porto Recanati) lies to the east. Regional roads, including the SS77, connect the area to the coast and inland; the A14 autostrada runs along the Adriatic.
