Palazzo su tre livelli a Monte San Pietrangeli

The area is in the inland hills between the Tenna and Ete Morto valleys, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, small woods and scattered villages. The Adriatic coast is nearby but outside the immediate 15 km radius for much of the surroundings. Fermo is the nearest town of size, with a cathedral, a large Renaissance piazza and full everyday services. The Sibillini Mountains are visible in clear weather and the Monti Sibillini National Park lies farther inland, but they are beyond the local landscape radius. This part of southern Marche is known for mixed farming and for the footwear district around the Fermano-Maceratese area.
