CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From San Severino Marche it runs 353 km to San Severino Marche; allow about 5 h 58 of riding. It goes by way of Teatro Gentile da Fabriano, Teatro Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Historic Centre of Urbino and back through Teatro Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. The line favours views over speed.
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.

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 comes up about 43 km into the recorded legs. Next is Teatro Giovanni Battista Pergolesi.
The people of Jesi take their opera seriously, and they have a reason. Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was born here in 1710, and by the time he died in 1736, at the age of twenty-six, he had written the Stabat Mater and the comic opera La serva padrona, two works that changed music. The theatre that carries his name was opened in 1798, a neoclassical jewel with tiers of boxes and a good-sized stage, in the heart of the old town on the main square. It still has a season, and a ticket for an evening performance is a treat if you are staying nearby.

about 87 km into the recorded legs you reach Teatro Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. Next is Historic Centre of Urbino.
Urbino is a whole hill turned into an idea. In the fifteenth century Federico da Montefeltro, a professional soldier who earned a fortune leading other people's armies, used it to build one of the most refined courts in Renaissance Italy, and the town that grew around his palace is still almost entirely brick and stone of that age. It was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1998, and it remains a lively university town rather than a museum.
