Jesi
A town enclosed by medieval walls above the Esino valley, surrounded by Verdicchio vineyards.
The story
On 26 December 1194 Empress Constance of Hauteville, travelling to Sicily, gave birth here to the future Emperor Frederick II. Tradition says that, being already forty and fearing the birth might be questioned, she gave birth in a tent in the main square, in front of the women of the town. The square now bears his name, and a museum tells the emperor's life story. The composer Pergolesi was also born in Jesi.
Why go
An authentic art town, with a historic theatre and the wineries of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.
