Ennio Morricone, Malena (End Titles)

Beautifully filmed by photographer and filmmaker David Kong, Portrait of Macerata is an invitation to sample and enjoy this unsung gem of an Italian city. Perched on a crest overlooking two verdant valleys, Macerata has grown quietly into a site of unique historical and artistic interest. Today Macerata is as well known for its artistic and cultural treasures as for its culinary delights with several memorable restaurants in and around the central Piazza della Libertia. However, to appreciate all that Macerata has to offer, you must walk through its narrow streets, admire its beautiful squares, sit down at a local tavern and enjoy a delicious meal in person. So visit and, perhaps, take the opportunity of experiencing a world-famous performance at the Sferisterio Opera Theatre.
