The Marche and the heart of Italy
A landscape between the Apennines and the Adriatic
Marche is a region in central Italy, facing the Adriatic Sea and crossed by the Apennine ridge. They stretch like a mosaic of hills, historic villages and rural landscapes, framed by lush nature and deep cultural heritage.
The province of Maceratino, and in particular the area of San Severino Marche, is distinguished by its authentic character: fertile hills, landscape harmony, and an agricultural tradition rooted in centuries.
This balance between nature and culture makes the area ideal for viticulture, which has always been a key player in local economies.
the contrada Cagnore
Cagnore is a hilly district in the municipality of San Severino Marche, in Marche, a region in central Italy rich in charm and history. Already in cadastral documents from the 1500s, Cagnore was described as valuable agricultural land, valued for its exposure, altitude, and special protection from the winds, which made it ideal for growing vines.
The rolling hills, fertile soil and unique microclimate have been distinctive features of this land for centuries.

San Severino Marche:
a journey where Art meets Soul
Nestled in the beating heart of Marche, San Severino Marche is a symphony of history, nature and beauty that enchants at first glance. Formerly known as Septempeda, the town is revealed between the ancient medieval village of Castello al Monte and the scenic Piazza del Popolo, one of Italy’s most fascinating urban backdrops with its unusual elliptical shape. To stroll here is to cross centuries, admiring aristocratic palaces and loggias that tell of a glorious past and a present vibrant with culture.
The city’s real treasure, however, lies in the genius of the Salimbeni brothers.
Leading exponents of “International Gothic,” Lorenzo and Jacopo left San Severino an unparalleled chromatic legacy: their frescoes, jealously guarded in the Duomo Vecchio and the Pinacoteca Civica, are striking in their vivid detail and expressive modernity, making the town an essential stop for every art lover. Each brushstroke still seems to tell stories of devotion and everyday elegance.
Between Rocks and Castles
San Severino is not only an open-air museum. Its territory offers nature itineraries regenerating, among wind-combed hills and paths that lead to silent hermitages and castles suspended in time. Visiting this town means indulging in the luxury of slowness, rediscovering an authentic cultural heritage that knows how to speak to the heart. Let yourself be seduced by the local flavors and the warm light that caresses the baked bricks: a sensory experience that will make you feel, at last, at home.
Among the castles and picturesque fortified villages, those of Pitino, Aliforni e Serralta. Also not to be missed is a visit to Elcito: set on rock and enveloped in an enchanted atmosphere, it is famous as “the Tibet of Marche.”
