Senigallia
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Inhabitants of Italy are referred to as Italians. Their official language is Standard Italian, descendant of Tuscan dialect and a direct descendant of Latin. The word Italy is derived from the Homeric Aeolic word which means bull. Italy is subject to highly diverse weather conditions in autumn, winter, and spring. The country has the fifth-highest population density in Europe at 193 persons per square kilometer. Today, despite regional variations in the form of accents and vowel emphasis, Italian is fully comprehensible to most throughout the country.
Senigallia or Sinigaglia is a commune, Episcopal See and port town on Italy's Adriatic shore, 25 kilometers by rail north of Ancona, in the Marche region, province of Ancona. The small port is formed by the lower reaches of the Misa, a stream which flows through the town between embankments constructed of Istrian marble. Despite its antique origin the city presents a modern appearance, with wide streets. The several attractions include Palazzo Comunale, from the 17th century. The Castle, of Gothic origin, was restored by Baccio Pontelli in 1492. The Cathedral erected after 1787 and the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, outside the town.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, cooperative people and luxurious hotels and cottages, Senigallia is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
