Additional information:
-Francavilla is a small and lovely medieval village located between Fermo and Macerata.

Fermo: One of the most alluring of the hill towns of the southern Marche, Fermo has an ensemble of architectural sights which make it well worth a visit.
The fortress, which once topped the town, was destroyed in 1445 during a popular rebellion against the ruling Sforza family and it is now the site of municipal gardens which offer fine views over the Marche countryside (large car parking area available).
The nearby 13thC Romanesque-Gothic cathedral (below), with its richly decorated interiors and fine rose window, now stands alone on top of the town. For British visitors perhaps the most interesting of the cathedral's treasures is the chasuble of St Thomas a' Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury (1118-1170), which is on display in the sacristy.
The main town stands just below the cathedral. Built around the magnificent large square, the Piazza del Popolo (top), are the main municipal buildings. San Savino's grand statue (1590) as Bishop of Fermo, who was to become Pope Sixtus V, enriches the main entrance of the Palazzo Comunale which contains the town's art collection, where the most notable artwork is an early Rubens painting of the Nativity (1608).
During the summer period the piazza hosts the Fermo's music festival, featuring some of the world's finest artists, as well as outdoor markets.
Worthy of note are the underground cisterne romane (roman tanks) as well, which include thirty magnificently preserved underground chambers built between 41 & 60 BC to conserve and purify the town's water supply. They are considered as the finest example of roman tanks in Italy.

Macerata : Known across the world for its annual open-air opera festival, Macerata is a human-scaled provincial capital that also deserves a visit for many other charming features.
Its open-air opera festival in July has an international following and takes place in the 7,000-seats Sferisterio - a monster of a Neoclassical arena- erected by private subscription in the 1820's. As you enjoy a Verdi aria, you might be surprised to know that it was originally built as the stadium for “Pallone”, better known as soccer.
The centre has a measured dignity fitting the place's solid but reserved wealth. Its centre was almost entirely built between the 16th and 19thC. The Renaissance two-tiered arcades of the Loggia dei Mercanti on central Piazza della Liberta' are the most striking example of the city architecture.
The best of the city's palaces face Corso Matteotti, the road that leaves the square at the side of the Loggia, while Corso della Repubblica will take you to Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the civic gallery and museum. Here is a mixed set of works by Umbro-Marchigiani painters - most important is Carlo Crivelli's Madonna and Child.
If you have time, you might examine the fine carriages in the Museo delle Carrozze or brush up your modern Italian history in one of the country's best museums dedicated to the Unification of Italy and wartime resistance - you'll find them in the same palace as per below pictures.
Right north the town, next the river at Villa Potenza, lies the ancient Helvia Ricina. When the Visigoths destroyed this Roman settlement in the 5th-6th century, its inhabitants moved up to a safer land and founded Macerata. Remains of the old city can still be seen, including the large amphitheatre, which stands just by the junction with the SS571, as well as a stretch of stone-paved roadway.
A few kilometres to the south of the city lies another outstanding monument. The Romanesque church of San Claudio al Chienti is one of the region's earliest and most important churches. Its shape, quite original for a Marche church, will catch your curiosity: there are in reality two churches, built one above the other, with separate entrances and flanked by two cylindrical towers. Built between the 5th and 7th centuries, probably on top of the ruins of a villa which formed part of the Roman city of Pausulae, it was constructed using material from ancient ruins. Its present shape dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries. Inside, both the upper and lower churches are square shaped, and supported by four solid central pillars.
