Pesaro
One city, many identities.
DISCOVER PESARO
One city, many identities.
Pesaro surprises visitors with the variety of its stories: from the cathedral’s mosaics and the Sforza family to Gioachino Rossini’s music, Art Nouveau architecture and contemporary art. Every period has left its mark.
Palaces, squares and historic streets reveal centuries of change. On the seafront, Villino Ruggeri embodies Italian Art Nouveau, while Arnaldo Pomodoro’s Sfera Grande has become a contemporary symbol of the city.
Pesaro is also a city of music, with the composer’s birthplace, Teatro Rossini and the Rossini Opera Festival. Beyond them lie the sea and Monte San Bartolo: this is a city to interpret as well as to visit.
