Civitanova Marche

Province: Macerata · Region: Marche · Population: 40,217 · Postal code: 62012

Civitanova is two towns facing each other: the marina, with fishing port, boatyards and one of the liveliest seafronts in the Marche, and Civitanova Alta, the walled village where Annibal Caro was born — the man of letters whose verse Aeneid stayed in Italian schoolbooks for centuries. In between, the footwear district that made this coast a world shoe capital.

The fish market, the factory outlets of the shoe cluster and the Rossini theatre season compose a concrete, enjoyable character. In summer, beach clubs and beach sport: the Adriatic holiday, industrious edition.
