Marche. Amongst the undulating hillsides and near the sea, on one of the gentle knolls rises Corinaldo with its domain of centuries old darkened towers and buildings.

Glimpsing from a distance the embrace of the 15th C walls is stunning, some of the best preserved and the longest of The Marches with a perimeter of almost a kilometre. The charm of the medieval village is due to the nature of the ancient fortifi ed city with its watchtowers and doors decorated by the Ghibellini. The south door is a truly magnifi cent entrance that opens to reveal the view of the Piaggia: a fl ight of 100 steps from which radiate alleys with red brick houses. Birthplace of S.Maria Goretti- (her sanctuary in photo right). Since 2004 Corinaldo pertains to the association The Most Beautiful Village of Italy and in 2007 reaped the coveted reward.
