Exploring the Province of Macerata
Hi friends! Today I want to talk to you about the Province of Macerata, a beautiful area in the Marche region of Italy. This province is the largest in the region and is situated on the Adriatic coast. It stretches from the sea to the Umbria region and borders with three other Marche provinces.
From a geographical perspective, the territory is mainly hilly and mountainous, with three associations of mountain municipalities. In addition to its natural borders, the province also extends into the Valnerina di Visso.
The Province of Macerata has an interesting history. It was created in 1860, with the annexation of the Macerata delegation of the State of the Church, together with the delegation of Camerino and the municipality of Visso. Over time, the province has undergone numerous territorial changes and in 1929 received the municipality of Visso from the Province of Perugia.
Economy
The most important economic sector of the Province of Macerata is the footwear industry. In line with the regional situation, many companies in the area are small but highly specialized. In 2006, the Bank of the Province of Macerata was established.
Transport and Infrastructure
Before the era of the automobile, the Province of Macerata was crossed by historic roads that led to Rome, some very ancient. The most important was the Via Lauretana, which crossed Umbria and Marche. With the arrival of trains, the railway line Rome-Ancona through the Fossato do Vico-Fabriano-Vall'Esina pass took away the ambitions of the province to see a line directly connecting the capital realized.
The Province of Macerata has a network of provincial roads that connect it with other areas of central Italy. The public transport system in the province is well developed, but many rural areas can only be reached by car.
