What to do and see in Castelraimondo

Art, culture and tradition

The rich hinterland of Marche is dotted with prestigious recognitions such as Orange Flags, Borghi Autentici (Authentic Villages) and Green Flag, including Cingoli, Offida, Offagna, Sarnano, Treia and many more. Larger centers like Fabriano also have a story to tell: here the tradition of paper masters has been transmitted for centuries, faithfully reproducing the paper production process at the Paper and Watermark Museum. Let’s not forget Tolentino, with its imposing Basilica of San Nicola, and San Severino Marche, historically at the center of important communication routes and the cradle of numerous civilizations, from the Paleolithic, Picene and Roman eras to the present day.

The area around Camerino is also full of castles and fortresses dating back to the period between 1200 and 1700, many of which were built by the Varano Family: the Castles of Lanciano, 600 meters from Borgo Lanciano, also known as “female castle”, because besides being Giovanna Malatesta’s private castle, it has often been owned by women over the centuries and owes its present look to one of the last owners, Countess Giustiniani-Bandini, to whom the history of Borgo Lanciano itself is linked.

Archeology, opera and theater

The Marche region also has an impressive network of museums, full of masterpieces and unique artifacts: this network preserves numerous and important testimonies from Roman times and other decidedly older ones.The Archaeological Park of Urbs Salvia (Macerata) is certainly the most important and spectacular in Marche. While visiting the place, you can admire the structure of a typical Roman town, with its majestic amphitheater and its walls, and finally the State Archaeological Museum, to have a wider overview of the Roman civilization of the site.

Theaters and opera in Marche are considered an indissoluble couple. Some of the composers and musicians who made Italian music and opera famous in the world were born in this land: Giovan Battista Draghi known as Pergolesi, Gaspare Luigi Pacifico Spontini and Gioacchino Rossini. The operatic tradition in Marche lives on thanks to many festivals, including the Rossini Opera Festival and the Sferisterio Opera Festival, combined with the opera seasons of some of the major theaters in the region.
