Dive into Artistic and Musical Heritage
Start at Casa Rossini, the birthplace of the famed composer, where exhibits bring 19th-century music and culture to life. Then stroll to Palazzo Mosca – Musei Civici, home to Renaissance and Baroque works, including masterpieces by Giovanni Bellini and regional artists. Throughout the year, the Rossini Opera Festival and open-air performances turn Pesaro into a stage for art lovers.
Savor Marche’s Coastal-Meets-Countryside Cuisine
Pesaro’s food scene is a delicious balance of land and sea. Indulge in brodetto alla pesarese (Adriatic fish stew), vincisgrassi (Marche’s rich take on lasagna), and handmade passatelli in broth or truffle cream. Coastal trattorias and agriturismi in the hills serve farm-fresh, seasonal dishes paired with local olive oil and rustic breads.
Explore the Wines of Northern Marche
Just inland, discover rolling vineyards producing elegant Bianchello del Metauro, floral Verdicchio, and bold reds like Sangiovese and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba. Tour boutique wineries where tastings come with sweeping countryside views and plates of pecorino, salumi, and fresh focaccia. Many winemakers in the Pesaro area also offer guided vineyard walks and seasonal harvest experiences.
Connect with Local Life and Flavors
Take a cooking class to master local pasta techniques or shop Pesaro’s lively markets for truffles, cheeses, and regional wines. Time your visit for the Festa del Brodetto or Rossini Gourmet events, where music, food, and wine come together in true Pesarese style. From opera to orecchiette, Pesaro invites you to celebrate art in all its forms.
