Ancona’s busy seaport gives this regional capital a strong connection to the Adriatic Sea. In central Italy’s Marche region, it stretches between the slopes of Monte Conero, Monte Astagno and Monte Guasco, about 280 kilometres northeast of Rome. Its surrounding hills create a striking change from the flatter coastline farther north.
