Fano, Coastal commune in Pesaro and Urbino Province, Italy.
The town stretches along the Adriatic Sea with a mix of sandy and pebbled beaches at Lido and Sassonia, marked by the Arch of Augustus entrance.
Founded in 49 BC as Fanum Fortunae by Julius Caesar, the settlement contained a temple dedicated to the Goddess Fortune and became a major Roman port.
The Museum of Via Flaminia presents Roman archaeological materials through interactive exhibits inside a former church near the ancient city gate.
Visitors can reach Fano through the A14 highway, the Milan-Bologna railway line, or nearby airports in Ancona and Rimini.
The Carnival of Fano holds the distinction of being Italy's oldest carnival celebration, featuring parades with candy throwing from decorated floats.
