Jesi – Studio for Printing Arts

The museum is located in the 16th century “Pianetti vecchio” building, in a spacious and luminous hall, a suggestive and visually gratifying setting, where printing presses and equipment from various ages are on display, together with rare and fine books. The museum itinerary highlights and develops two aspects which characterised the invention that changed the history of human knowledge: printing devices and books as an end product. It was opened in 2000 to document the city’s long-standing printing tradition. Federico de’Conti was the Marche region’s first printer and printed one of the earliest editions of the Divine Comedy.

Jesi – The Ripa Bianca Nature Reserve

Until the mid 1980s, this was the home to Jesi’s landfill site along with a neighbouring gravel quarry, relentlessly animated by diggers and trucks at work. Human activity subsided during the early 1990s and the landfill site was reclaimed. A colony of night herons spontaneously settled, initially along the river banks, and then on the shores of the quarry lake, after the quarry was closed. Sergio Romagnoli was the first to notice these new inhabitants. Together with other WWF members and Jesi naturalists, he resolved to conserve this important habitat.The reserve has since become an invaluable naturalistic site, inhabited by …

Jesi – Piazza Federico II – San Floriano

La tradizione vuole che qui nascesse, il giorno di S. Stefano del 1194, sotto un grande padiglione appositamente eretto, Federico II di Svevia. L’avvenimento è ricordato da una lapide scritta in più lingue, posta sulla facciata del Palazzo Ripanti. Per onorare il grande imperatore tedesco e in segno di riconoscenza per i privilegi concessi alla città, gli jesini decisero successivamente di cambiare il toponimo della piazza, intestandola a Federico II.
