Overview
The ancient Fanum Fortunae, located at the end of the Via Flaminia, is still alive in the city walls and, above all, in the entrance gate: the Arch of Augustus. Today's Fano is a seaside town and the sea is the element that more than any other has left traces in local customs and traditions. In particular, the flavours of the town are closely linked to the sea: among the typical dishes of the Fano table is 'brodetto alla fanese' (fish soup), but we should not forget the drink made with coffee, rum, aniseed and brandy called 'Moretta fanese', which was drunk by sailors and fishermen in the port to warm up before setting sail with their boats. Fano, however, is also famous for its carnival, the oldest in Italy: allegorical floats that cross the centre and reach heights of over 15 metres, masks, costumes and fireworks transform the city every year into a widespread celebration that involves inhabitants and visitors alike. Don't miss the Passaggi Festival in June and the Brodetto and Fish Soup Festival in July.
