by the presence of fortresses and castles, some of which are among the most
interesting in Italy.
The village of Sassocorvaro, in the province of
Pesaro Urbino focused around the Rocca Ubaldinesca, that is now home to the art
gallery and the Farmer’s culture museum. During World War II, the
Superintendent of Fine Arts in Pesaro and Urbino, hid in the fortress over 10.000
paintings coming from the greatest Italian museums in order to prevent thefts
from the Nazis.
With only 300
inhabitants, the small and charming village of Frontino stands on a
rocky spur, surrounded by hills, woods and cultivated fields, offering an image
of the past. This remote, fortified village is included in the list of "The
Most Beautiful Villages of Italy". Macerata Feltria is a town
of ancient origins that was founded in pre-Roman times. The oldest and
fortified part of the village is called "Castello" (“Castle”). In the
