Italy - Historical theatres of the Marche Region

Located in the heart of central Italy, the Marches are, par excellence, "a region in the plural". The origins of this multiplicity derive from the geomorphological diversity of the many parallel valleys and also in the intricate and fragmentary history, which was documented - according to many historians - by the long domination of the State of the Church and the later entry into the Kingdom of Italy. The regional "plurality", which is also witnessed by the widespread anthropization of the territory, has deeply shaped the land; here important artists of Italian art were born; furthermore, there was the spread of remarkable schools of art, and artistic currents and cultural trends connected to folklore, music and theatre.
