Italy: Umbria and the Marches
Bradt's Umbria & the Marche is the most detailed guide to combine these two small central Italian regions, which offer all the beauty, history and culture of neighbouring Tuscany only without the crowds, the traffic or eye-popping prices. Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls (authors of the original Cadogan guide to the area) lived in Umbria in the 1980s and have been returning regularly and writing about it ever since. They are the perfect guides to the region's landscapes, hill towns, food and wine, and art and architecture.The superb art cities of Umbria and Le Marche steal the limelight - Perugia, Orvieto, Urbino, Loreto, Todi, where art fills every church and palazzo. There is a dedicated cha...

Central Italy: The Marches and Abruzzo
It is a matter of fact: Italy possesses the most remarkable artistic and cultural heritage in the world. And this is not all: its heritage is not just to be found in the great artistic cities, but is diffuse, “spread” throughout national territory as in no other country. The proof? Le Marche. A region in which a rich and varied countryside (the Adriatic sea, with its flat and sandy coast interrupted at intervals by rugged, rocky precipices; the harmonious agricultural landscape of its gentle hills; the deep and mysterious caves; the protected areas of natural beauty) is enriched with towns, villages, palaces, and religious buildings, all of them of important architectural and artistic va...
Le Marche
Le Marche: an Insider's Guide will help you discover Italy's Marche, or Marches, region, the place to go if you want a taste of real Italy, an Italy still relatively untouched by the ravages of mass tourism. You'll find plenty of outstanding art and architecture, discover enchanting small towns off the beaten tourist trail, and see some of central Italy's most spectacular countryside. It has been written by British travel writer Peter Greene, who has lived and worked in the region for more than twenty years, and also runs the popular Marche Voyager website. It's designed to give an honest view of the beauty and variety on offer, and uses a concise but intelligent style. It assumes most visitors are here to relax, and offers just enough to inform, without swamping the reader with endless details.
Andiamo Le Marche
Perhaps you love to travel; Maybe you love all things Italian; Perhaps you want to know more about about Italy's small towns; Or maybe you just want to hear juicy stories and live vicariously through college students who were immersed in Le Marche. Whatever the reason, join four college students and a patient professor as they embark on an adventure like no other. The first of its kind; this journey entails daily trips to small towns in Le Marche; with Camerano as home base. If you're looking for parties in an exotic land and girls-gone-wild action, this book is not for you. The following pages are a humble attempt to better understand the Italian culture. Running into every problem imaginable, you'll laugh and cringe as the team makes their way through the central eastern region of Italy - Le Marche. Le Marche is a true gem. Authentic Italian culture is actively present here because it is virtually untouched by typical floods of tourists. The rustic paradise has an aura rich with tradition. It's this atmosphere plus the balmy climate which initially lures us into Le Marche. Mom-and-Pop shops reign in this region and the aroma of home cooking fills in the air.
Il Bel Centro
A witty and warm-hearted memoir of abandoning fast-paced American days in favor of discovering the Italian secrets of food, community, and life. Moving across the globe meant Michelle Damiani soon found herself untangling Italian customs, delighting in glorious regional cuisine (recipes included), and creating lasting friendships. From grandmothers eager to teach the ancient art of pasta making, to bakers tossing bread into fiery ovens with a song, to butchers extolling the benefits of pork fat, Il Bel Centro is rich with captivating characters and cultural insights. Throw in clinking glasses of Umbrian red with the local communists and a village all-nighter decorating the cobblestone street...
The Land of Piceno
Indigenous peoples cancelled by a burgeoning empire. Devastating earthquakes level ancient monuments. Marauding invaders loot and pillage art treasures. And yet, verdant hillsides ripple with vineyards and olive groves. The dramatic blue Sibillini Mountains shelter shepherds, freedom fighters, and necromancers. Lined with palms and orange trees, the luxurious Adriatic coast is monitored by medieval towers and pagan temples. This is the Land of Piceno--Le Marche, Italy--whose founding symbol, Picus, sacred woodpecker of Mars, guides us through the vicissitudes of time.
A Small Place in Italy
This book is a lush and beautiful memoir of a very special house and a superb recreation of a bygone era.
Central Italy, Marches, and Abruzzo
Enrico Massetti wrote this book with 43 color images. As a matter of fact: Italy possesses the most remarkable artistic and cultural heritage globally. And its culture is not just found in the great creative cities but is diffuse, "spread" throughout national territory as in no other country. The proof? Le Marche. Its flat and sandy coast is interrupted by rugged, rocky precipices, a region with rich and varied countryside with the Adriatic Sea. The musical agricultural landscape of its gentle hills, the deep and mysterious caves, and the protected areas of natural beauty enriched with towns, villages, palaces, and religious buildings is of significant architectural and artistic value. It hi...
