Just 8 miles from us, a dozen minutes by car, is the Capital City, Ascoli Piceno, "City of Hundred Towers" as it is known for its many buildings of this kind, some still standing and visible in the historical center of Roman/Medieval period.

The town is full of so many monuments, most of them in travertine, the typical porous stone of ivory color that comes from the nearby Acquasanta's quarries still actives

You can do a complete tour of the town in just an hour, fully enjoying the show of squares and streets that connect to each other in a series of surprising glimpses, between pedestrian zones and limited traffic areas.

It is not possible here to go into details of the many possibilities offered by the local cuisine, as well as the famous olives stuffed and fried, so called "Ascolana", but it seems appropriate to recall the offer a lot of quality at the right price, a kitchen that avoids the large numbers, giving instead special attention to individual customers: a bit like the Fam. Alesiani try to do.
