Cultural space hosting the permanent exhibition of works by Belgian artist Ludwig Van Molle
The House of Culture in Altidona is named after Nicole Semail, wife of Belgian artist Ludwig Van Molle, who donated the building and the exhibited works to the Municipality. It is a cultural space located in the historic center, set up with paintings and sculptures to be enjoyed also through listening to classical music via headphones. It is freely accessible and designed to host cultural initiatives related to art.
Other sources confirm that it hosts 30 works by Van Molle and that the space is also conceived as a center for culture and community, in addition to serving as an interpretation center for the Ecomuseum of the Aso Valley.
Altidona si trova in provincia di Fermo, tra il borgo storico collinare e la zona costiera di Marina di Altidona. È raggiungibile in auto dall’autostrada A14 uscendo a Pedaso e proseguendo poi sulla SS16 Adriatica in direzione Marina di Altidona; da qui si sale verso il centro storico seguendo le indicazioni per Altidona lungo la strada provinciale.
La stazione ferroviaria più vicina è quella di Pedaso, servita dai collegamenti regionali sulla linea Adriatica. Dalla stazione è possibile raggiungere Marina di Altidona e il borgo di Altidona in pochi minuti con taxi, autobus locale o auto.
Per visitare il centro storico di Altidona si consiglia di lasciare l’auto nelle aree di sosta situate all’ingresso del borgo o nelle immediate vicinanze del centro, proseguendo poi a piedi tra le vie del paese. Per chi invece vuole raggiungere la zona mare, sono presenti aree di parcheggio a Marina di Altidona, in particolare nei pressi della SS16, di Via A. Gramsci e degli accessi alla spiaggia. Durante l’estate o in occasione di eventi è consigliabile verificare la segnaletica locale e le eventuali limitazioni temporanee alla sosta.
Located south of Fermo, at the foot of Torre di Palme, Marina Palmense is a Blue Flag beach resort that combines nature and sports. Its coastline ranges from sandy beaches to the north, ideal for families, to pristine stretches to the south, a favored spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The area has an ancient history preserved in the Sanctuary of Santa Maria a Mare (12th century).
The Old Country, corresponding to the current corso Castel San Giorgio, represents the original nucleus of the ancient village and the city port, where the Adriatic Sea once reached. Characterized by three pointed arches that marked the landing area for boats, the site today offers a charming walk along the castle walls that leads to the Merlata Tower or Turrimagna.
The Abbey Church of San Bartolomeo, rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century, stands out for its Greek cross layout and the richness of its interiors. The frescoes by the painter Fontana, along with the marble decorations and the figures of saints created by his student Nicola Achilli, make it a small treasure of sacred art.
