258 km from Fabriano to Fabriano, about 5 h 52 of riding. On the way it passes The system of Italian-style condominio the, Teatro Lauro Rossi, Teatro dell'Aquila and back through Teatro Lauro Rossi. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Paper made Fabriano. Since at least the thirteenth century, craftsmen in this inland town of the Marche have made paper, and they are credited with key innovations: the use of animal gelatine to size the sheets and, most famously, the watermark. Fabriano paper is still made here today, and the Museo della Carta e della Filigrana, in a former monastery, shows the old techniques with working demonstrations. Your banknotes may well have been printed on paper from this town.

Teatro Gentile da Fabriano is where the day begins. Next is The system of Italian-style condominio the.
The Marche has more historic theatres per head than almost anywhere in Italy. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, almost every hill town built its own opera house, often paid for by local families who then owned their boxes, like apartments in a condominium, and passed them down through generations. The result is a network of jewel box theatres in small towns, with tiers of boxes, painted ceilings and gilded stucco, many of them restored and still in use. San Severino Marche, a few kilometres away, has the Teatro Feronia, one of these, and the network of such theatres across the region has been put forward for World Heritage recognition.

The system of Italian-style condominio the comes up about 43 km into the recorded legs. Next is Teatro Lauro Rossi.
Macerata is a hill town that takes its culture seriously, and the Teatro Lauro Rossi is the polished little jewel in the middle of it. Built in the second half of the eighteenth century in the heart of the old centre, it is a classic Italian horseshoe theatre with tiers of boxes in cream and gold, and it carries the name of Lauro Rossi, a nineteenth-century composer born in the town. If the doors are open, step in for a look; the room is intimate enough that you can imagine the whole town crammed in for a premiere, gossiping between acts.

about 87 km into the recorded legs you reach Teatro Lauro Rossi. Next is Teatro dell'Aquila.
Fermo sits on a hill above the Adriatic, and its theatre is the jewel inside the town. The Teatro dell'Aquila was built in the late eighteenth century, designed by the architect Cosimo Morelli, and it is one of the largest and finest historic theatres in the Marche, a region that has an extraordinary number of them, almost every town having its own little opera house. Inside, tiers of gilded boxes rise in a horseshoe around the stalls, and the painted ceiling glows above. If you can catch a performance, or join a guided visit, do so.
