Palazzo Vinci-Gigliucci is located in the very heart of Fermo close to many historical sites and attractions. The old town of Fermo is bordered by 14th century walls of the Sforza era with gates and towers. The access gates which are still visible are those ones dedicated to St. Anthony, St. Catherine and St. Julian. The heart of the town is the main square Piazza del Popolo, enclosed between two large row of lodges, one of the most evocative spots in Fermo. Here it is located the Palazzo dei Priori, the representative office of the Municipality, the art gallery and the Piceno Archaeological Museum. The Art Gallery preserves works ranging from the Middle Ages until the nineteenth century, including works by artists from Le Marche. The Archaeological Museum instead exposes findings of the pre-Roman Fermo, including belts, urns and picena vintage jewellery. Inside the building you’ll find the "Globe Hall" entirely decorated in walnut wood, which houses the municipal library, one of the richest of Le Marche region and in the top ten of Italy. It dates back to and retains 128 codes, volumes, 686 incunabula the oldest date back to “Cinquecentine”, prints of famous authors and over drawings.
Fermo is rich in churches, the most famous one is undoubtedly the Cathedral or Duomo of Fermo dedicated to the Assumption. It is located in the upper part of the city next to the Diocesan Museum. Inside the Cathedral you can visit the excavations with the evocative mosaic of the pagan temple. The whole area is characterised by a panoramic view named Belvedere or Piazzale del Girfalco. The Aquila Theatre is one of the major opera houses in Italy with a capacity of about seats, 124 boxes and 350 square metres of stage. Important is the painting of the ceiling, tempera painting by Luigi Cochetti , portraying the gods of the Olympus, with Jupiter, Juno, the three Graces and the six dancing night hours, listening to Apollo sing.

On top of the Girfalco hill rises the charming town of Fermo, at about 6 km from the Adriatic Sea. Fermo is one of the most important centres of the region thanks to its history, business activities, tourist and cultural events renewed every year. It is characterised by an imposing cathedral and its territory can be divided into two parts: the historical part from the medieval age and the other urban areas one. The area is a mix of sea and hills, ranging from the wide beaches to the lovely villages perched over the sea in a dominant position. The Province of Fermo consists of 40 municipalities: Montegiorgio, Smerillo, Porto Sant’Elpidio, Amandola, Pedaso, Moresco, Campofilone, Falerone and many others. The coast is characterised by long beaches among which the equipped beach of Porto Sant’Elpidio, Lido di Fermo, Casabianca, the seafront of Porto San Giorgio, the coves of Pedaso, Marina di Altidona, etc. In a more panoramic area rises the romantic medieval village of Torre di Palme, which is located on a high promontory near Marina Palmense. A visit is strongly recommended! Do not miss the Gorge of the Infernaccio near the Sibillini Mountains.
