Le Marche, Italy

The region of Le Marche (pronounced "lay Markay"), together with Toscana and Umbria, portrays the charm of Central Italy.

Located at east centre, it's the calf of Italy's boot. From the plains on the Adriatic coast, the territory gently raises with mild hills in the central area, up to the Appennini Mountains.

Although the coast has been popular for many years, much of the inland remains almost unspoilt, preserving the culture of authentic Italy.

Visiting Le Marche

The region is known for pleasing visitors who come to Le Marche looking for the taste of genuine Italy, untouched by mass tourism but welcoming to foreigners.
