Tips from the Community
Piobbico is a beautiful town in the province of Pesaro Urbino with about 1800 inhabitants. It is located in a valley between Monte Nerone and Monte Montiego and stands right at the confluence of two rivers: the Biscubio and the Candigliano. Piobbico is also known as the Land of the Ugly, due to the National Association of the Ugly, founded at the end of the 19th century to allow young women from Piobbico to find a husband; it currently has about 30,000 members and every year, on the first Sunday of September, the World Festival of the Ugly takes place. The festival is famous throughout central Italy and attracts a very large number of people each year.

The Sentiero del Carbonaio is a fascinating route that winds through the Marche Apennines. Even today, it is possible to come across the evocative piles of wood that the charcoal burners, with great dedication, transform into valuable coal.

This is where the border between Italy and San Marino runs. When you leave Italy, you also leave the European Union. Be careful, you should deactivate roaming in good time, otherwise you will experience nasty surprises on your next cell phone bill.
