The Marche is a Region in the middle of Italy at the Adriatic Sea.

Provinces in The Marches : Ancona, Ascoli Piceno, Macerata [ once part of an old territory called Picenum ], and Pesaro e Urbino [ a combination of the former provinces Pesaro en Urbino - once a part of Umbria ]. In 2009 a new province will be added : Fermo.

Cities in The Marches : Ascoli Piceno, Pesaro, Urbino and Macerata.

The region borders in the north Emilia-Romagna and the Republic of San Marino, in the west Toscane and Umbria and in the southeast Abruzzo and Latium.

It is an essentially mountainous and hilly region, facing the Adriatic Sea. The mountain area is rugged, with narrow valleys, deep gorges and numerous rushing, sometimes inaccessible, streams [ Gorge of Furlo ]. The coastline presents a succession of gently rolling hills and flat plains crossed by rivers.

Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls
Three of Italy's most enchanting regions are explored in this new edition of a popular Cadogan guide, now fully revised and updated. Tuscany's lavish beauty has attracted visitors for centuries, but quiet, green Umbria and the unspoilt Marches are still relatively undiscovered. This guide reveals the highlights of all of them, taking the visitor to off-the-beaten-track delights as well as to the more celebrated towns and sights.
From little family-run guesthouses to international hotels, and from street corner pizzerias to fine restaurants, the guide is packed with hand-picked listings to suit all pockets. Stunning colour photographs will inspire you before you travel, and thorough touring advice, with maps and plans, will keep you on the right track. So whether you're planning a cruise round the vineyards of Chianti, a beach holiday in Rimini or an art pilgrimage to Florence, this guide will enliven the journey.

History of Marche

 History of Italy  -  WikipediA
Italy's history is perhaps the most important one for the cultural and social development of the Mediterranean area as a whole. The country has been host to important human activities in prehistoric times, and therefore archaeological sites of note can be found in many regions: Latium and Tuscany, Umbria and Basilicata. After Magna Graecia, the Etruscan civilisation and especially the Roman Empire that came to dominate this part of the world for many centuries, came the medieval Humanism and the Renaissance that further helped to shape European philosophy and art.
