Dear Friends

We would like to invite you to join the enthusiast friends at our next event coming on June 2016.

The Marche: Italy in one region.

In 2016 Carovana Romantica comes back with an unreleased before programme in an unique region of Italy: The Marche, located in the centre of the country, a region that sum up the whole of Italy in themselves: sea, mountains, history, art, local traditions, spirituality, nature, typical food and wine.We will travel touching little towns appearing like open-air museums, where present and past live in a close symbiosis, crossing through suggestive cities rich in beautiful old churches, to reach wonderful seaside with the incredible beaches of the Conero Riviera

An extremely attractive destination where you will find all the best features of Italian culture, folk traditions and way of life.

Vineyards and CantinasWe will drive in the Jesi surroundings and the Verdicchio region with its picturesque villages, wineries, and beautiful countryside, visiting some of the most representative and suggestive vineyards and cantinas, tasting the Verdicchio e Rosso Conero wine and some of the indigenous grape species.

Loreto and “The Santa Casa”/ The Great AbbeysCarovana will travel touching an extraordinary series of monuments

that point to the deeply felt spirituality, as in Loreto, the Basilica of “Santa Casa” the most important Marian shrine in the world where,

according to tradition, Virgin Mary was born, lived and received the announcement of the miraculous birth of Jesus.

Enchantment on the Conero RivieraA relaxing day will be spend in the sinuous promontory designed by

the winds: the Mount Conero, reaching by boat tens of beaches surrounded by rocks and luxuriant vegetation.

The Conero Riviera on the Adriatic Sea is an oasis of peace and nature where caves and pine forests overlook the sea most

crystal-clear emerald green.

The Rainassence towns of Urbino and Ascoli PicenoStarting from Urbino (UNESCO Site) notable for a remarkable historical legacy of independent Renaissance culture, we will arrive in Ascoli Piceno, constructed almost entirely of travertine stone and called the “City of a hundred Spires”. We will visit the “Galleria Nazionale delle Marche” one of the most important collections of Renaissance painting and, crossing through rolling hills, we will touch ancient villages, birthplaces of the musician Giambattista Pergolesi and the poet Leopardi
