Mondaino is a noble land rich in history and tradition, where visitors can enjoy extraordinary panoramic views, from the mountains to the sea. A popular Malatesta site during the Middle Ages, during the centuries that followed it distinguished itself for its fine craftsmanship, ranging from majolica through to musical instruments, so much so it has been called the “Town of Music”. However, the real driving force behind Mondaino is the commitment of the many volunteers who organise festivals that are famous throughout Italy. The town’s beauty and its artistic and cultural heritage, passionately preserved by its people, are astounding.
