I enjoyed dinner at Maria Barberini home in Pesaro but mostly
the folkore music band which played especially for us.
The next day we visited a nursing home in Santa Colombo. It
was clean, neat and very well organized allowing elder’s to
develop their activities and to show their abilities.
The same evening BANCA DEL TEMPO (Women's Organization
of Pesaro) organised an amazing dancing evening, with
traditional costumes and home cooked food, prepared by the
members of the Organization.
We also visited the park of San Bartolo, and admired the local flora and fauna, the villas of the
Roman period of Pavarotti etc. I also enjoyed the Dante castle, the Paleontological Museum
and the fossils of insects and fish exhibited. Furthermore the scenery of landslides existing in
the area of Pesaro and generally along the Adriatic Coast was spectacular.
I loved the tour at Museum Civici, Palazzo Moska and Rossini’s home. That evening we
attended the Theater of Urbino show organized by the CNA of Pesaro . On the last day in Pesaro
I enjoyed the visit we made at the municipality gardens allocated to pensioners to grow with
natural methods without pesticides. Also nice evening spent in the castle Gradara where we
had dinner and danced.
2nd week in Senigallia: On our first day in Senigallia, after enjoying a traditional meal at Elmo’s
home (polenta e.t c.) we walked in the city and visited the self sustained nursing home, which
impressed me a lot.
On our first day of work in Senigallia, the presentation by Bruna
Durazzi, infrastructure and operations of the Protezione Civile, was
fantastic. Afterwards there was an exchange of views on the subject
between Greeks and Italians. The day ended with a great dinner at
Falchi della Rovere. Excellent morning tour to the city's attractions
from Konstantine a member of local civil protection group. Also
impressive was the tour at the river MISA by members of the same organization.
Very nice tour at CORINALDO (neighboring town) by Pierro Minardi (leader of the organization)
In this village are organised various festivals to revive old customs like collective cooking of
polenta. In the evening I liked the representation occured by Bruna , to address potential
earthquake. I also enjoyed dinner with traditional pizza.
The visit to BEVEDERE -village of the same district- was both nice and informative. The village
was destroyed by the earthquake of 1997 and was later on reconstructed at its original state.
This visit helped us to form an idea of how to deal with similar cases in Greece which is also a
seismic country.
I enjoyed the walk we had in Fano (neighboring town) and especially the organized beach.
There we saw the -unique throughout the region- Orthodox church. The meal offered to us at
Elmo’s home was fantastic with traditional products cooke
