What it is and where it is
Located near the border with the province of Perugia, Apecchio is an ancient village in the Apennines, on the edge of the Marche region. The salty breath of the old Adriatic is unknown to the people here, who breathe in the salubrious, fragrant air of the surrounding woods at the top of their lungs. The municipal territory of Apecchio, in fact, although perched on the river terrace formed by the confluence of the Biscubio and the Menatoio, stretches up to the summit of Mount Nerone (1526 meters), offering an articulate variety of landscapes.
Why it is special
Mountain, wooded hills, wide valleys, green meadows and everywhere rivulets of crystal-clear water, sometimes even oligomineral and sulfurous: the environment is so rich that it has become a must-see destination for all lovers of sports and outdoor activities. A corner of paradise that offers everyone their own activity: from climbing to trekking, from mountain biking to horseback riding, to canyoning and sport fishing. For lovers of relaxation, simple walks among mills, towers and perched churches seduce the eye and the camera.
Not to be missed
Just as a cleverly written introduction page keeps the reader's eyes glued from the first lines, so the splendid Romanesque humpback bridge from the late medieval period captures the tourist and invites him to savor the atmosphere that envelops Apecchio. The stones of the buildings tell the story of ancient civilizations up to the advent of the Ubaldini counts, whose namesake palace dominates the center of the town. Don't miss a visit to the Jewish quarter: the low dwellings, the oven for baking unleavened bread, and the little alley that divided the homes of Christians and Jews.
A bit of history
A tidbit of minor history. For all Apecians, the medieval bridge is the Ghighetta Bridge, nickname of Agostino Pazzaglia (Professor Sandro Pazzaglia's grandfather), owner of the inn at the foot of the bridge. Agostino used to strum an old accordion whose refrain went "Ghi Ghe, Ghi Ghe" and hence... Ghighetta!
