Welcome to the province of Macerata: let's discover the territory together

Hello everyone! Today I will take you to discover the province of Macerata, one of the provinces of the Marche region. With its 303,684 inhabitants, the province of Macerata has Macerata as its capital, but the territory extends well beyond this city.

The province of Macerata is the largest province in the Marche region and borders the Adriatic Sea to the east, the province of Perugia to the west, and three other Marche provinces to the north, southwest, and south. The territory is predominantly hilly, but there are also mountainous areas, which are part of the three Mountain Community Unions present in the province.

But how was the province of Macerata born? In reality, it originated from the delegation of Macerata from the State of the Church in 1860, when the Minghetti decree annexed the delegation of Camerino and the municipality of Visso. Over the years, the province has undergone numerous territorial modifications, but in 1929 it received the municipality of Visso from the province of Perugia.
