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.

Castel Trosino, Ascoli Piceno. Glimpses
Castel Trosino is a small village of medieval origins which embodies an important series of historical, architectural, cultural and environmental "values". Castel Trosino has always been located in an important area that leads from the Apennine passes to the Adriatic Sea. It is in fact widespread opinion that the original Salaria consular road passed on this route, we do not know if this corresponds to the truth, but it is certain that through this important village there was a route that connected with the southern area of Umbria, a director widely used in Roman and early medieval times. The small village is located on a travertine rock (the main material of the area) as a cliff over the Castellano valley. The small village of the castle itself is organized around a central street that penetrates inside to the main square in front of the church dedicated today to San Lorenzo Martire.
