The intermingling of natural beauty and the constructions and works of man has rendered the Italian panorama unique and magnificent. The ancient buildings - Roman, Etruscan and Greek - palazzos, walls, medieval and then Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassic churches built on hills, along rivers, by the sea and in the valleys are Italy and Fano is the quintessence of this, its true manifestation. At the mouth of the Metauro, at the foothills, facing the sea, Fano is filled with the remains of the Roman Fanum Fortunae, starting with the Arch of Augustus - symbol of the city - and the walls with towers set at regular intervals. But also in all the eras that followed, the people of Fano embellished their city with buildings, and each one is worth a visit: the cathedral dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, the Loggia Malatestiana, the majestic Rocca (fortress) built in the mid-fifteenth century, Sangallo's bastion built in the sixteenth century to defend the city from pirates and the Baroque church of San Pietro in Valle.
The port (active since ancient times, reconstructed in 1616 and expanded in the nineteenth century) divides the beachfront into two sections: the beach of Sassonia to the east and the Lido to the west. Alberto Conti - with his large and modern motorboat - will accompany and guide you along this sandy coast to the rocky waters near Mount San Bartolo and Mount Conero, where you can go fishing for striped bream, mackerel, bonito and tuna.
One of the typical dishes that is a must here is brodetto alla fanese - fish soup - cooked with onions, tomato, vinegar and plenty of fish, including gurnard, monkfish, sole, turbot and soasi.
