Castelfidardo, the rythm of music

THE COUNTRY OF ACCORDIONS

Castelfidardo is renowned for its handmade accordions, one of the symbols of Italian music throughout the world.
The International Museum of Accordions is set up inside the Palazzo Comunale, the municipal buildings, and exhibits the historical stages of this instrument and of the artisans' expertise through a realistic re-enactment that is somewhat nostalgic.

THE BATTLE OF CASTELFIDARDO

The top of a hill, is home to a monument made of bronze by the sculptor Vito Pardo, which is one of a kind, in memory of the battle of the Risorgimento that took place in 1860: a battle between the army of the Piedmont region and that of the Papal States.
"castellani", or the castle's citizens' piety led them to build a sacred place where the remains of all the soldiers who lost their lives could be laid down to rest in the midst of a serene area full of vegetation.

VILLA FERRETTI

Built during the second half of the 18th century, Villa Ferretti stands in a particularly enchanting position on the Selva hillside.
The villa also has historic importance, as it stands on the site of the sadly famous battle of Castelfidardo.
It is home to a large collection of Italian art collected by Duke Roberto Ferretti. The works of art are arranged into three themes: a section dedicated to the memory of the Ferretti family with furniture, marble works, and drawings; a part dedicated to sacred and religious works of art; and to end, a part dedicated to pieces typical of Marche.
