Province of Ancona

The Province of Ancona borders the Adriatic Sea with coastal plains in the east and rises toward the Apennine peaks in the west. The territory merges lowland areas with elevated terrain, creating a varied geographical layout.

The territory flourished under Roman rule, particularly under Emperor Trajan, who expanded the port of Ancona and enabled trade connections across the Adriatic. This port development laid the foundation for the region's importance in central Mediterranean affairs.

The province is known for its wine production with local varieties like Verdicchio, which grow in the hills and shape the culinary heritage. These traditions run deep in the everyday and festive life of the communities.

The province is well connected through its capital city Ancona, which operates an international seaport and an airport serving destinations across Europe. Visitors can arrive by multiple transport options and easily move throughout the region from this hub.

The Conero Regional Park contains dense Mediterranean forests where locals and specialists search for black truffles among the native plants. This rare delicacy makes the area a destination for those seeking gourmet treasures.
