Grottammare is a nice town of the “Riviera delle Palme”, situated in an enviable geographical position, near a wonderful valley; each year many tourists choose it in summer as preferred location.

Some historical notes make us believe that the town Montefalcone dates back to 705 AD, when the “Curtis Montis Falconis” was assigned to the Farfense monks.

The town of Spinetoli, with its old centre dating back to the XIII century, lies on a nice hill in the area of Piceno.

What makes Acquaviva Picena a peculiar town is doubtless its fortress, an interesting majestic fourteenth-century hill fort, worthy of many other beautiful ones in Italy.

The name of this nice town comes from the torrent Fluvione, that flows through the place.

Situated about 15 kilometers away from the sea, in the Middle Ages Carassai was called “Castrum Guardiae”, but people used to call it “Carrascale” or “Carnassale”.
