Hello everyone! Today we will talk about the Province of Macerata, a fantastic place located in Italy, in the Marche region. There are many things to discover here and I will tell you everything you need to know about its physical geography, its economy, infrastructure, and transportation.

Physical Geography

The Province of Macerata is the largest province of Marche since 2009, and is composed of different territories. It stretches beyond the Umbro-Marchigian Apennine watershed to the territories of Valnerina, which is the main "overflow" of the Marche beyond its natural geographical boundaries. Its territory is predominantly hilly and the rest is mountainous, with three unions of mountain communities. Since 2004, it is the only province in Marche that borders with other three provinces of the same region.

Economy

As in other areas of the region, there are many highly specialized small businesses in this province as well. An important sector is that of footwear. The Bank of the Province of Macerata was established in 2006 and is responsible for financing and supporting the local economic fabric.

Infrastructure and Transportation

The Province of Macerata is crossed by historic roads that led to Rome, including the Via Lauretana. With the arrival of trains, the Rome-Ancona railway line through the Fossato di Vico-Fabriano-Vall'Esina Pass took away the ambitions of the province to see a railway artery that directly connected the capital. However, over the years, several infrastructures and means of transportation have been developed to connect the province with surrounding cities.
