Ascoli Piceno is a medieval town in the Marche region of Italy. The town is a small gem, rich of history, art and architecture. It still preserves many constructions with towers and for this reason it is called "the town of the one houndred towers". Not only the squares, but also the narrow streets make Ascoli Piceno a medieval gem, among the most fascinating towns in Italy. A visit to Ascoli Piceno wouldn't be complete without a taste of Olive ascolane, a dish which originated from this locality, prepared from olives.
