Cartoceto

Nice borough where you can admire the historic centre and the charming Garibaldi Square: it hosts The “People’s Palace”, dating back to the 14th century, and its Clock Tower. The small town is rich of  alleis and passageways, it is proud of its panoramic viewpoints, palaces, churches and historic buildings.

Serrungarina

As in every hinterland in Merche region, you can taste excellent specialities as local oil and wine, but only here you can taste a very rarity: the Angelic Pear, an ancient, rare and exquisite fruit saved by Serrungarina’s farmers: this is the only place where is cultivated this small and tasty fruit, used to prepare jams and cakes but also salted dishes and appetizers.

During the harvest, between the end of August and the beginning of September, a Feast of Angelic Pear takes place: here you can taste it and buy it in one of the food stands.

The town is so proud of its angelic pear that has a sculpture celebrating it at its entrance: a huge winged pear!
