Ancona is at once the capital of its own province and on a wider scale, regional capital of Marche.
Located on Italy's Adriatic coast it's an important port city with commercial ferries constantly crossing back and forth to Croatia, Albania and the Greek islands. As with all the major ports of the Adriatic, Ancona has seen more than its fair share of political turmoil, war and conquest throughout its history. |
