Introducing Ascoli Piceno
Older than Rome, some Piceni like to say. Although not technically true, Ascoli – as it’s known – has been home to inhabitants since the Sabine tribe settled the area in the 9th century BC. These days, Ascoli is a charming mid-size Marchigiani town, its lack of hills presenting an easily walkable visit. It’s not heavily touristed, but those willing to make the trek will discover historical riches, an excellent pinacoteca, one of Italy’s unsung perfect piazzas and a veal-stuffed fried olive treat (olive all’ascolana) good enough to plan your heart attack around.
