Pesaro, a city known in the world for being the birthplace of the composer Gioacchino Rossini and to be home since 1980 of the Rossini Opera festival that attracts visitors from all over the world every summer. It had its greatest period of artistic and cultural flowering under the rule of the Della Rovere family, thus becoming one of the most admired cities not only of the Pesaro and Urbino region but throughout Italy.

It was founded at the time of the Roman Empire right near the Via Flaminia, while it had its greatest period of artistic and cultural flowering during the 16th and 17th centuries under the rule of the Della Rovere family, thus becoming one of the most admired cities not only of the Pesaro and Urbino region but of all of Italy.

Currently, the city is also famous seaside resort crowded on hot summer days when numerous tourists relax in the hot sun or having a fresh refreshing bath inside its crystal clear waters.

Personally, having had the opportunity to visit the city of Pesaro only on a cold day in the middle of autumn, I can't fully enjoy the wonders offered by bathing in the clear sea of Pesaro and I therefore fully dedicate myself to discovering the city itself.

I visit the Doge's Palace erected in the fifteenth century by Alessandro Sforza, it is impressive with its facade consisting of a portico of six arches supported by heavy pillars. The Cathedral of the city instead, erected on the remains of a late Roman building, has the facade in Romanesque-Gothic style and is a small treasure of beauty within the city.

I recommend a visit to the Rocca Costanza; the Porta Rimini; the Trebbio Fountain “Fonte Rossa”, not forgetting the Big Sphere, a beautiful sculpture.

For history lovers don't miss a visit to the following places: Roman aqueduct of Pesaro: the archaeological area of Colombarone; the Pescara sacred forest, or Lucus Pisaurensis and the Picena Necropolis of Novilara.

Finally, I couldn't help but visit the small birthplace of Gioacchino Rossini, with the museum inside it.
