When Nana passed away, Mum took my Grandad to our favourite place in the world: the ancient village of Petritoli, in Le Marche, Italy. The whole holiday was me pushing Papa around in a broken wheelchair we had somehow managed to get from the town hospital. Petritoli, with its huge bell tower, sits on top of a hill overlooking other villages and their towers. Our hotel room overlooked them all and this is where Papa would sit himself every morning. Papa passed away this month. I’m so glad he left a memory in my Mum’s favourite place.

The village of Montecassiano overlooks the valley of the River Potenza, in the Marche region. There are documents dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, which already witness settlements of Roman or Late Roman origin. The oldest Roman stone, a funeral altar dating back to the I century AD, was found in Montecassiano in 1602, near Valle Cascia. In the Middle Ages Montecassiano turned out to be a harbor village; It will soon deploy with the Ghibelline faction, and at the end of 1100, It participated in the struggle between the Ghibellines Recanatesi against the Allies associated with Ancona, Fermo and Civitanova, in which the Montecasians had the worst.

When Nana passed away, Mum took my Grandad to our favourite place in the world; Petritoli, Le Marche, Italy.

Continuing east from Tuscany and Umbria into the lesser known Le Marche. Amazing roads; tunnels carved in mountains - so I didn't feel car sick and not scary. Shocking.
