The territory of Fermo stretches north-south along the Adriatic coast from the Chienti to Aso rivers and west as far as the Sibillini mountains. It covers an area of around 1,000 square kilometres and has a population of 190,000.

The territory is typical of Appenine scenery with a flat coastline, a rich and varied hinterland and a mountainous area (the Sibbilini mountains). The latter’s varied flora and fauna led the area to become a national park. The beauty of the area is enriched by the mountain peaks some of which are over 2,000 metres above sea level, like Monte Vettore , la Priora and la Sibilla as well as deep canyons like Infernaccio and Foce di Montemonaco.

Roman and Piceno archaeology of Fermo. Looking for the oldest signs.

The existence of Femo from the bronze age has been well documented thanks to archaeological discoveries found in three picene necropolises dug around the town and, as can be seen from their structure, they tell of a once large piceno town.
