Excellences of the region Marche: Ostra’s Arts and Crafts.
Ostra is a small Italian municipality that offers so many beauties and ancient traditions, recognised as Bandiera Arancione: in 2003 it was awarded by the Touring Club Italiano, a recognition to small towns for quality in tourism and environment. This town is inhabited by 7 thousand people and is located in the province of Ancona, its beauty is undeniable, because of its stunning landscapes and its special traditions, such as Ostra’s Arts and Crafts.
Handicraft is one of those activities that make Italy one of a kind in the world, and often includes Arts in every product, even the smallest. Ostra is one of those examples: walking on its streets made of beveled stones you can see handimen working. If you visit the old town and main square Piazza dei Martiri, with its evocative Municipal Palazzo, the Town Tower and the Theatre, it is still worth to spend some time to visit the School of Ancient Furniture Restoration, where ancient melts with modern, because young people learn how to restore ancient pieces of furniture. To emphasize the relationship with this handicraft, every year in August there is a National Fair of Antiques and Arts and Crafts, an important event for tourists.
Ostra is a beautiful borgo in the region Marche that offers to its inhabitants and tourists, not only amazing landscapes and tranquility, but also a strong relationship with traditions that is its main feature. Ostra’s Arts and Crafts is not the only heritage, in fact in Ostra you can also taste excellent food and wine. Ostra takes part in the National Association of Cities that produce Honey and the National Association of Cities that produce Wine. Younger people and anyone who is into amusements should visit Ostra during Halloween: the local celebration is aptly named “Notte degli Sprevengoli (i.e. Night of fears)”.
