Landscape:
The territory is mountainous and essentially hilly for a third
of the Region. The impression of these mountains is that they
seem to from an enormous comb toward the adriatic coast, leaving
in some depths parallel furrows. Going down from the tallest slant
there is the hilly zone where small villages are built both from
the Middle Ages and modern times and isolated farmer's houses,
soldier's stations and sacred buildings. The hilly part goes down
to the coast where can to notice a small level strip. In the Brands
there are not any real lowlands, but a great piece of earth not,
shed in the adriatic shore.
Agriculture - Stoc-farm -
Fishing:
Many of the inhabitants of Marche still work in agriculture and
tenaciously continue to cultivate the poor and arid earth of the
hills. Bowline and wheat, sugar beets, potatoes and fruit are
mainly produced. In the hilly zones are found the plantations
of grapevines that don't produce big quantities of wine, but in
some types of grape they offer a good personal quality. The olives
are another crop, even if not in elevated quantity, famous more
than for the oil, they are for the quality of the table. Good
are the productions of forage used for the breeding of pigs.
Industry - Tourism:
All situated in the coast, the industrial fittings are not very
developed; the principal ones are the shipyards in Ancona and
San Benedict of Tronto, the oil refineries of Falconara Marittima
and the chemical fittings in Ancona and Civitanova. Instead The
small firms are scattered throughout the territory with boot fittings
and shoe factories, textile, furniture and machineries. The production
of footwear is remarkable in this Italian territory. Tied to the
agricultural production, the alimentary industries find results
with sugar-refineries, oil-mills, production of bagged pig meat.
Characteristics are the ceramics of Urbino, Pesaro and Recanati.
Also notable is the production of musical tools and the paper
fittings of Fabriano.
To fish in the Adriatic, the biggest boats gifted
of apparatuses electronics and cells frigoriferes for the maintenance
of the fish are used which go down in the Mediterranean and out
to the Atlantic waters. In numerous coastal places tourism finds
a large income, thanks to the European tourists as well. The cities
are rich for historical wonders and the Saint House of Loreto
as a destination of religious pilgrimages, is strong for tourist
visits.
Ancona: Cathedral of St. Ciriaco. It's situated on the Guasco
hill, appears in all its magnificence. It is a real unforgetable
view. The presence of a well-equipped port, mainly open towards
the East, gives the town a strong and bustling image, together
wlth the airpori of Falconara, the port of Ancona Is the most
important tourist structure in the whole region.
Position and Frontier:
The territory of Marche is situated between Appennino Umbro-Marchigiano
and Adriatic Sea and is inclusive between the river Leaf to north
and Tronto to south. The confinements are: to north with Republic
of S. Marino and Emilia Romagna, to east with Adriatic Sea, to
south the Abruzzi and Lazio, to west with Umbria and Tuscany.
Rivers and Lakes:
The rivers of the territory are torrential in the regine in the
distance that divides Appennino from the coast. They are subject
therefore to summer shoals and floods in winter. The principal
rivers are: Potenza, Metauro, Chieti, Tronto, Foglia.
Climate:
The promontory of Conero influences the climate of the coastal
zones. In the northern part above Conero the perturbations and
the twenty deriving colds from north, make very rigid winters.
In it departs her southern instead mended by the mountain, climb
the heats and dampness of the south, making the mild and rainy
winter. The difference in the winter and the summer is felt in
this Region a lot; in fact they are formost in the cold winters
and in the particularly warm summers.
Population:
The population is well divided in the zone. Urban ammassamentis
are not seen as in other cities but an equitable subdivision in
small centers or shed houses in the hills of the shore. The only
developed cities are Ancona and Pesaro with around 110 thousand
inhabitants. A phenomenon that we find of frequent also in other
regions it is the move of the inhabitants of the mountainous and
hilly zones to the biggest centers. A lot of persons have abandoned
the mountainous and hilly zones few fertile to find a most profitable
job in the industries, in the hotel sectors or in the commercial
firms.
Communication:
All the streets of communication rise along the coast. The railway
and road fittings allow the connection between Ancona with Bologna
and Bari along the whole shore of the peninsula. Only a railway
line passes for Appennino and colleague Ancona with Florence and
Rome. A lot of the roads are traced from the old Roman streets
as the Street Flaminia and the Street Salaria. Ancona makes way
for the maritime movements that however are of scarce relief.
