Ascoli Piceno. The Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo
Overlooking Piazza del Popolo, it stands out for its elegant medieval crenellated tower next to the historic Meletti café. Built between the 13th and 14th centuries from the union of three small buildings separated by two rue, one of which was equipped with a tower which was later reused, it was remodeled following the fire that almost entirely destroyed the interior in 1535. The central portal, preceded by a staircase and surmounted by the monument to Paul III, the courtyard with three orders of loggias and the staircase, the latter built by Camillo Merli around 1550, date back to that period.

Offida. Monumento alla Merlettaia
It is a bronze monument, created in 1983 by the sculptor Aldo Sergiacomi from Offida. It is placed at the entrance to the town to testify to the great importance that bobbin lace has in Offida. It is in fact a very ancient art that is handed down from generation to generation, allowing the creation of real handcrafted masterpieces. The monument highlights the continuity of tradition, representing three generations in comparison: from left to right the elderly grandmother who carefully follows the work of the young mother and the child, very busy learning the first processing techniques.
