Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. 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.

Planning note
The system of Italian-style condominio the is where the day begins. Next is Teatro Gentile da Fabriano.
2. Teatro Gentile da Fabriano
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.

Planning note
Teatro Gentile da Fabriano comes up about 43 km into the recorded legs. Next is Teatro Giovanni Battista Pergolesi.
3. 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.
