Pesaro is a town and comune in the Italian region of the Marche, capital of the Pesaro e Urbino province, on the Adriatic. According to the 2011 census, its population was 95,011, making it the second most populous city in the Marche, after Ancona. Pesaro is known as City of Bicycle, thanks to its big net of bicycle paths. The city received this award by Legambiente, the most important ecologist society in Italy, in 2015, because it is the city with the biggest bicycle use in Italy. It is also known as City of Music thanks to the bond with Gioacchino Rossini, the famous composer born in Pesaro. For this reason, in 2015, the Italian Government officially candidate Pesaro as Creative City in the group of World Heritage Sites of UNESCO. Fishery, furniture industry and tourism are the main strengths of the local economy.
The city was founded as Pisaurum by the Romans in 184 BC as colony in the territory of the Picentes, the people who lived on the northeast coast during the Iron Age. However, in 1737, 13 ancient votive stones were unearthed in a local farm field, each bearing the inscription of a Roman god; these were written in a pre-Estrucan script, indicating a much earlier occupation of the area than the 184 BC Picentes colony.
A settlement of the Picentes tribe has been found at Novilara. The northern Picentes were invaded in the 4th century BC by the Gallic Senones, earlier by the Etruscans, and when the Romans reached the area the population was an ethnic mixture. Within it the Gauls at least were still distinct, as the Romans separated them out and expelled them from the country.
Under the Roman administration Pesaro, a hub across the Via Flaminia, became an important center of trading and craftmanship. After the fall of the Western Empire, Pesaro was occupied by the Ostrogoths, and destroyed by Vitigis (539) in the course of the Gothic War. Hastily rebuilt five years later after the Byzantine reconquest, it formed the so-called Pentapolis, part of the Exarchate of Ravenna. After the Lombard and Frankish conquests of that city, Pesaro became part of the Papal States.
During the Renaissance it was ruled successively by the houses of Malatesta (1285–1445), Sforza (1445–1512) and Della Rovere (1513–1631). Under the last family, who selected it as capital of their duchy, Pesaro saw its most flourishing age, with the construction of numerous public and private palaces, and the erection of a new line of walls (the Mura Roveresche). In 1475, a legendary wedding took place in Pesaro, when Costanzo Sforza and Camilla D'Aragona married.

Luxury villa with swimming pool near Adriatic Sea - Pesaro
Luxury villa located in a wonderful place on a hill boasting an amazing view of the surrounding landscape, over the city and the sea. The villa is very comfortable for living and spending holidays, due to its position near the city of Pesaro and just 3km from the sea. All the necessary facilities are within walking distance.
Recently the villa was completely reconstructed and refinished and now all the rooms are decorated with excellent taste saving all the historical and architectural features of the building.
Because of descriptions and drawings of the villa found in some documents of the XIX century, as a model of excellent architecture, we can assert that the villa has a great value from historical and architectural point of view.
The house is surrounded by a well-kept park more than 5 hectares, where you can find old trees and the garden full of charming plants, fountains, nice walkways and comfortable benches.
There is also an underground garage and an Olympic swimming pool. In a large area of the park it is possible to enjoy a romantic atmosphere of solitude: far from residential buildings, i.e. no one and nothing can prevent you from enjoying your vacation time there for the full stay.
For the planning of the landscape, as well as for the reconstruction of the interiors, the best designers and architects of the region were involved, they used only the best and the most high quality materials. Furthermore special attention was paid to the technical equipment to ensure comfortable living conditions.
