The heart of Italy is still beating!

Here in Le Marche, where we are based, we are supporting many events to help the region rise again after the earthquakes that struck the area. But there are so many treasures still to be discovered by tourists and locals that you shouldn’t miss as no earthquakes will stop us.

So if you are in Italy on Monday, April 17th, 2017, come join us in Ascoli Piceno! We will be there as the organizers of ‘Art in Stone’ (‘Arte nella Pietra’), a cultural treasure hunt through the most beautiful corners of Ascoli Piceno, the so called ‘city of one hundred towers’. It’s an event completely dedicated to the families. And entry is free of charge.

If you’ve never been to Ascoli Piceno, you should definitely come and visit! See you there!

ART IN STONE (ARTE NELLA PIETRA) – More about the event:

‘Articolate’ in partnership with the Town of Ascoli Piceno and Gate-away.com, presents Art in ‘Stone’ – a journey through dance, music, photography, painting, archaeology and flavours of the Piceno area across five mystery locations in the old town centre.
