Travel guide publisher Lonely Planet published its Best in Travel 2020 book and put Le Marche in second place of the best regions in the world to visit next year. As a 100% born and bred marchigiana, I can’t help but agree with this ranking.

Also, I don’t lie when I say that I’ve been telling anyone I met the same things that the famous publishing company highlighted: le Marche might not be as famous as Tuscany — “its superstar neighbour”, to use Lonely Planet‘s words, but they are as charming and appealing. They have plenty to offer to its visitors: stunning natural beauties and vistas, good food, a lively coastline, inviting events and towns full of history and elegant architecture.
