Among the unmissable highlights stands the Cattedrale di San Venanzio, a treasure trove of art and spirituality that dominates the main square. Then there is the very particular charm of the places linked to the Marchese del Grillo, the bizarre nobleman immortalised by Italian cinema.

An experience designed for those who love going beyond the surface, to discover the authentic Italy that the great itineraries forget.

Art, history and legends in a walking route to be lived

The tour winds along the cobbled streets of the historic centre of Fabriano, where every palace and church tells centuries of Marchigian history. Walking is the most authentic way to absorb the atmosphere of this medieval village.

The Cattedrale di San Venanzio is undoubtedly the beating heart of the visit. Its facade and interiors hold artworks of great value, witnesses of refined patronage that has left its mark over the centuries. The guide illustrates every detail with the passion of someone who knows these places deeply.

The route also touches the places linked to the figure of the Marchese del Grillo, the famous nobleman from Fabriano who inspired one of the most beloved films in Italian cinema. Discovering the real context behind the character adds an unexpected layer of interest.

Being a completely private tour, the programme can be adapted to your interests. If you want to linger longer over a monument or take a break in a historic café, the guide is there to follow your pace.

By the end of the visit you'll take home not only photographs, but a genuine understanding of a place few tourists really know.
