Loreto (Marche)

Loreto, a hill town, is a comune of the Italian province of Ancona, in the Marche and most commonly known as the seat of the Basilica della Santa Casa, a popular Catholic pilgrimage site. The city's main monuments occupy the four sides of the piazza: the college of the Jesuits; the Palazzo Comunale (formerly the Palazzo Apostolico), designed by Bramante, that houses an art gallery with works of Lorenzo Lotto, Vouet and Annibale Carracci as well as a collection of maiolica, and the Shrine of the Holy House (Santuario della Santa Casa). It also boasts a massive line of walls, designed by the architect ( and military engineer ) Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, which were erected from 1518 and reinforced in the 17th century.

What others are saying about Marche

Hello. I hope it is OK to post this enquiry here.  I am trying to trace my family history to Cupra Marittima . My great grandfather was Lou/Luigi Luciani believed to have been born around 1866. His father's name might have been Eugene, and his mother Maria Paccasassi.

@arch3615 asks:

We are retiring in two years from US and I read an article to reach out about best to leave money in US bank account. I may have consulting income after I receive social security in two years. Do I have to pay taxes in Italy on income too? Or on social security?

@arch3615 asks:

We are buying a house close to Sarnano, we will be there this fall. Are there any furniture stores in that area? Thanks
