Altidona

A charming village between hills and sea, where ancient history and culinary traditions meet breathtaking scenery.

The History of This Place

Nestled among gentle hills with stunning views of the Adriatic, Altidona offers a perfect balance between historical heritage, nature, and community life. The area, inhabited since the Paleolithic and home to elegant Roman villas dedicated to Palmense wine production, saw the development of the current village in the Middle Ages around the parish of Santa Maria and San Ciriaco. The historic center contains artistic treasures like the altarpiece by Vincenzo Pagani and vibrant cultural centers such as the Provincial Photo Library of Fermo and the House of Artists. Famous for its traditions, including the historic Sagra della Polenta with Snails, Altidona welcomes visitors with the authenticity typical of Marchigiana hospitality.
