From our location above the village there are many
splendid views across the medieval rooftops to Monte
Sibilla, Monte Priora, Monte Amandola the Madonna
dell'Ambro and the peaks beyond. Within a few minutes
drive is the spectacular gorge of the Gola
dell'Infernaccio. |
For those seeking a less energetic break Montefortino
offers painters a wonderful range of subjects. The
village, which is considered to be amongst the most
authentic in the Marche is unspoilt retaining its
original medieval layout and character. |
Montefortino is also home to the Pinacoteca Duranti
museum which opened in Palazzo Leopardi in 1997. The
collection includes several important paintings by
Corrado Giaquinto and Pietro Alemanno together with a
number of religious artefacts dating from the 136
century. |
Further afield the costal Towns of Porto S. Giorgio and
San Benedetto del Tronto offer an excellent range of
seafood restaurants and the opportunity to take a
refreshing dip in the sea! Le Marche is a centre for
shoe making and several factory outlets including Tods,
Prada and Geox are located near by. |
