Marche Breaks

Falerone will greet you whilst you climb the “strada del pozzo” to reach it, with the town of Falerio Picenus, established by the Romans in 29 BC,and you will feel as though you are entering a magical time machine as soon as you see the Roman theatre: the theatre of Tiberio Claudio which has been restored to its original splendour by the archaeological excavations, appears in the silence of the well irrigated fertile planes.

You can also see the characteristics of the building with the stage and the cavea. Beyond the brick wall you can see traces of the large amphitheatre, the remains of the thermal baths, and a Roman well still in use today.

Most of the finest archaeological treasures unearthed here ended up in the Louvre and the Vatican museums but most  evidences of this period you will find it conserved in the Civic Museum “Antiquarium”.

On wandering about here and there in the town and while passing under the “Loggette dei mercanti” you will understand why this medieval town had an economic vivacity and an artisan resourcefulness. You can return in August for the traditional “Contesa della Nzegna”.
