Beautiful museum: environment, construction, objects, paintings and music Instruments from different centuries. The composer Rossini, from Pesaro had received its own exhibition in the museum, a very lively one. The yard is interesting with its little surprises.

Villa Imperiale

The Villa Imperiale is located just a few kilometres from Pesaro, immersed in the Colle San Bartolo Park, which safeguards its original relationship with nature. In the fifteenth century, it was the residence of the Sforza family and was expanded and painted with frescos at the behest of the Della Rovere dukes in the sixteenth century by the Urbino architect Girolamo Genga. Its glories diminished extensively from 1631 until the nineteenth century, when the villa passed into the hands of the Albani and the Castelbarco families. The ancient splendour of the Della Rovere residence was only restored when the new owners began to care for and renovate it. The Villa Imperiale is only open to the public in summer, from June to September, every Wednesday, and by reservation only. Visits are guided by Isairon, a tour guide association from the province of Pesaro and Urbino.

Sfera Grande di Pomodoro

Reviewed By KatrinaMolini - Corciano, Italy

Arnaldo Pomodoro is famous for his spheres and you can immediately recognize his style in this work. It’s located right in front of promenade and gives quite a dramatic impression on a rainy day. The raindrops were beautifully falling into the pool of water in the center of which the sphere is placed and it created a stunning infinity effect. So worth the visit! Wonderful art! Especially fascinating when you look at it facing the sea!

Piazza Del Popolo

Reviewed By KatrinaMolini - Corciano, Italy

We personally really enjoyed this square on the day when we strolled around. It was raining on and off and after a good look at it we sat at the café Ducale for a drink. Spritz was good and piazza looked good from our point of view. I see what people mean about it being so quiet and not active- there is not much going on there- but I found that to be a plus during the time of our visit. Just observe beautiful historical buildings and the fountain and seize the moment.

For Rossini fans a must. You'll see where the maestro was born, what instruments he had at his disposal, where he ate, slept, etc. Enlightening.
