Introducing Macerata
Macerata is well off the tourist radar, but offers charming hill town scenery, great accommodation, one of Italy’s most famous opera festivals and several days’ worth of sights. While the Picena tribe settled the area as a trading centre 3000 years ago, its largest draw these days is the Arena Sferisterio, which holds the opera festival in July and August.
