Comment by Ashley Bartner on March 12, 2012 at 23:35: Fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing!! Le Marche is my favorite region too! I live not far from Urbino in the countryside. My husband & I moved from NYC to open an organic farm, inn & cooking school! Life is good in Le Marche -

Thanks again for sharing & hope the next time you are in the area you are able to visit our farmhouse!

All the best, Ashley
