Warm and easy going. These are the adjectives most commonly used referring to the people from this part of Le Marche.

Le Marche have been cut out from main routes by the Appennines across the centuries. Industrial developement of Italy's seventies didn't happen here. Grand tour and touristic success had usually hit the western part of Italy from Tuscany to Rome and Naples.
Le Marche have been part of the Pope's state until two centuries ago and the Pope has never been keen of economic developement.
What has been a disadvantage has resulted now to great medioeval architecture preservation and genuinity in the people who managed not to leave these blessed part of Italy keeping on relying on agriculture for a living and traditions such as 'Saltarello' music and dance for the fun.
