Fermo, a lovely and ancient town with more than 37,000 inhabitants (according to the latest census of last year), is not a "town". Located just 7 kilometers from the Adriatic coast, on the hilltop and slopes of Sabulo (319 meters above sea level), it is one of the largest in the Marche region and also the center of the province of the same name.
Like the rest of the Marche region, Fermo stretches from the blue sea to the mysterious Sibillini mountains, including numerous ancient towns and even a factory-rich "shoe area" (Montegranaro, Monte Ourano, Sant'Elpidio a Mare).
People have mastered these places since time immemorial, and in 264 BC. Fermo had already become a Roman colony with the name Firmum Picenum and received the right to mint its own coins.
The city, once founded long ago at the top of the hill for better protection from uninvited guests, has long since outgrown its allotted slopes and began to make its way towards the sea. Now it consists of two completely different, separated from each other by a fortress wall, but living in an amazing symbiosis of parts - medieval and modern. By the way, there by the sea, is already a completely different town, Sant'Elpidio a Mare.
