Tips from the Community
Piobbico is a beautiful town in the province of Pesaro Urbino with about 1800 inhabitants. It is located in a valley between Monte Nerone and Monte Montiego and stands right at the confluence of two rivers: the Biscubio and the Candigliano. Piobbico is also known as the Land of the Ugly, due to the National Association of the Ugly, founded at the end of the 19th century to allow young women from Piobbico to find a husband; it currently has about 30,000 members and every year, on the first Sunday of September, the World Festival of the Ugly takes place. The festival is famous throughout central Italy and attracts a very large number of people each year.

Up here at about 1100 m it seems you can touch the majesty of Monte Nerone 1540 m which looms in front with its grandeur (southern side)

Up here time seems to stand still if you let yourself be conquered by what nature gives us. Wherever you turn the panorama changes and thanks to the light the emotions change depending on the appearance or disappearance of the sun through the clouds.

It feels like being suspended in the middle of the sky. The view ranges from the Adriatic to Catria and the surrounding ridges! In ideal sky conditions it is a fantastic place.
