Introducing Pesaro
Geographically, the town of Pesaro is practically perfect. Its beachfront locale adds to the beauty of its winding, ancient pedestrian zone (flat, even!) and backdrop of undulating hills. Too bad tens of thousands of Speedo-clad northern Europeans come here for five months out of the year to do a sardine impression on the beach, which is backed by a Soviet-looking strip of high-rise concrete hotels. However, the historic centre deserves an entire day to wander. The composer Gioachino Rossini loved his home town so much he willed Pesaro all of his possessions when he died (be sure to check out Casa Rossini while you’re here).
