The beautiful countryside of the Aso Valley, situated in the Marche region, has been preserved unchanged since the middle ages: a great farming network with scattered farmhouses, a land of nature\u2019s many colours, with striking scenes for every season of the year: from the winter brightness of the snow covered Sibylline Mountains, the gentle hills that descend to the valley which in autumn have warm colours of yellow, ochre and brown, while in spring the beautiful fruit orchards with their soft pink and white flowers fill the air with a wonderful perfume; to the intense blue of summer and the sea with its splendid golden beaches.
\nThe towns and villages along the valley have gathered and preserved, over the centuries, the best of the resources (history, traditions, art), that give life to a widespread museum still to be discovered. A valley that has stayed on the margins of the chaotic development of the past few years, preserved almost intact, a spectacle of rare beauty for those who appreciate the environment, history and art and for those who wish to relive the flavours and customs of the old days. In this enchanting scenery you can find Ortezzano. <\/p>\n

Ortezzano has remote origins, there are traces of Etruscan life and, above all, Picene. Its name has had different interpretations such as Ortempianum,
\nOrtentianum, Ottazzano. Utricinum means fortress, there are some however who believe the name refers to a nobleman Hortensius Utricinum.
\nIt was destroyed by the Romans in 269 BC. After the barbaric invasion it was subjected to the Farfensi in the 9th to13th centuries.
\nIt has a heptagonal – based Ghibelline tower that dominates the town, beautiful churches, fountains and an altogether harmonious feeling of history,
\nart and the ancient traditions for which it is characterised . Here you can still find old values and rural customs: such as the country fairs that can be
\nenjoyed together with the simplicity and friendliness of the locals, like the well known wine festival<\/strong> which takes place in the little lanes of the old town centre,
\nwhere you can watch the old methods of wine pressing. There is the lovely festival of the decking of flowers<\/strong> dedicated to the Madonna where, during the night, the
\nflower adorners cover the village streets with mosaics of flowers to welcome, the following day, the over a hundred year \u2013 old procession. Ortezzano\u2019s gourmet cuisine<\/strong> is still authentic
\nin its deliciousness that the culinary abilities of the locals place at your disposal.<\/p>\n
