‘poop-squirting pigeons’? Honestly, I don’t appreciate your choice of words. Please keep it polite.

Hello all,
thanks for the lovely comments. For Joseph: Ancona was founded by Greek colonists, the Dori Siracusani, in 387 b.c. This is why Ancona is also known as “la città Dorica”. http://www.comune.ancona.it/turismo/contesti/Turismo/servizi/servizi_turistici/14944_depliants.html
And, Megan, I myself have witnessed both the sunrise and sunset, in Ancona and from the hills of Senigallia as well. Very special indeed. Buon Ferragosto to all!

The Anconetani also refer to the fact that this “elbow” allows them to be the only city in Italy where they can see both the sun rising and setting on water. Not sure if this is completely true but Ancona’s proximity to some of the most pristine beaches in the country, despite being a heavily industrial town, is very special.

Please, refer me to your citation of authority for the proposition that the Greeks “founded” Ancona. My understanding is that the Greeks hugged the “heel” of la penisola, i.e., Apulia, but did not go farther north on the Adriatic coast. The pickings in the Ionia sea and Magna Graecia were about all that the Greeks traders (and much later colonists, i.e., “founders”) could want; or manage.
Thank you for your attention.

During the summer months, there are ferry boats that leave Ancona for the beautiful city of Split, Croatia. Many Italians go to Croatia for their summer vacations. The coastline is breathtaking with spectacular scenery and the sea is clear and clean. Quite different from the Adriatic side of Italy.

Most of the Italian families in Ridgefield Ct. came from Le Marche’.
Aldo Biagiotti, a noted citizen, wrote a book about their migration & contribution.
This town is blessed.

Have a well deserved break. We’ll be looking forward to more tastes of Italy in September. :)
