Caffè Meletti and the Magic of Ascoli Piceno

There’s something truly magical about stepping into Ascoli Piceno, a medieval town that feels like a time capsule. Narrow cobblestone streets lead you to hidden treasures, countless historic churches, and lively piazzas. But if there’s one place you absolutely can’t miss, it’s Caffè Meletti.

Sitting gracefully on the picturesque Piazza del Popolo, often called one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, Caffè Meletti isn’t just a café—it’s an experience, a story, a piece of history.

A Café with a Story to Tell

Caffè Meletti opened its doors in 1907, thanks to Silvio Meletti, the man behind the famous Anisetta Meletti, an aromatic anise-flavored liqueur that’s become synonymous with Ascoli Piceno. You can feel its legacy in every corner of the café—from the Art Nouveau decor with its soft pastels and intricate details, to the carefully preserved marble counters and antique mirrors.

When you visit, don’t just order a coffee—order Anisetta Meletti, the café’s signature liqueur. It's served traditionally with a coffee bean floating in the glass, a quirky touch known as "con la mosca" (literally, "with the fly"). Sweet, aromatic, and just a little herbal, it’s a flavor you won’t forget.

The Piazza View: Pure Bliss

Now, picture this: you’re sitting at one of the outdoor tables of Caffè Meletti, sipping on a glass of chilled Anisetta, while the sun bathes Piazza del Popolo in golden light. Around you, locals chatter animatedly, kids run across the square, and the town’s stunning Renaissance arcades frame the scene like a painting.

The piazza itself is a masterpiece—elegant, harmonious, and buzzing with life. It’s the perfect spot to take a breather, soak in the atmosphere, and let the beauty of Ascoli Piceno wash over you.

Beyond Anisetta: A Culinary Haven

Caffè Meletti is also a haven for food lovers. Pair your drinks with a slice of tiramisu, a plate of oliva ascolana (the town’s famous stuffed fried olives), or an array of pastries made with regional ingredients. If you’re there during aperitivo hour, you’ll find a selection of savory bites that pair perfectly with local wines like Pecorino or Rosso Piceno.

Don’t forget to pick up a bottle of Anisetta Meletti as a souvenir before you leave. It’s the perfect way to relive your Ascoli memories—or to share a taste of this enchanting town with friends back home.

Timeless Elegance, Modern Vibes

Caffè Meletti is more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a living piece of history. It’s where Ascoli Piceno’s past meets its vibrant present. You can imagine writers, poets, and artists of the early 20th century sitting here, just as you are now, soaking up the inspiration of the city.

So, whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who loves beautiful places, Caffè Meletti is a must-visit. Ascoli Piceno is full of wonders, but there’s something about sipping an Anisetta at Meletti that feels like the essence of the town distilled into a single, perfect moment.

Houtouwan: the village of nature

Everyday hundreds of tourists visit Houtouwan, making their way on narrow footpaths past crumbling houses overtaken by vegetation. The remote village, on one of more than 400 islands in the Shengsi archipelago, was abandoned in the early 1990s as residents moved away, aiming to leave problems with education and food delivery behind them.

Houtouwan is an abandoned fishing village on the northern side of Shengshan Island, one of the Shengsi Islands, a chain of 400 islands located 64 kilometres east of Shanghai, China. Houtouwan soared to fame among Chinese netizens in 2015 when a series of mesmerizing photographs of the deserted village went viral. It boasts one of the biggest fish farms in China. The best time to see the village is summer – when vegetation is in full bloom.

In 2002, the village was officially depopulated and merged into a nearby village.

After decades of abandonment, empty houses in the ocean-facing, cliffside village – some of them still furnished – have been taken over by a blanket of lush climbing plants. Houtouwan was once a prosperous fishing village, with a 1980s population of more than 3,000 residents. However, because of its remote and hard-to-access location, its residents started to move out in the ’90s.

A Journey Through Ascoli Piceno: A Gem of Le Marche

Nestled in the heart of the Le Marche region in central Italy, Ascoli Piceno is a town that whispers history at every corner and delights the senses with its culinary treasures. Known for its enchanting medieval architecture, numerous churches, and the tantalizing flavors of its local cuisine, Ascoli Piceno offers visitors an unforgettable experience.

A City of Churches and History

Ascoli Piceno boasts an impressive number of churches, each showcasing a slice of the town’s spiritual and artistic heritage. The Cathedral of Sant’Emidio, dedicated to the town’s patron saint, is a stunning example of Romanesque and Baroque architecture. Its crypt, filled with ancient frescoes, is a serene space steeped in reverence and history.

Another standout is the Church of San Francesco, with its Gothic design and majestic cloisters. Strolling through the cobblestone streets, you'll encounter countless other churches, like the elegant Sant’Agostino and the hidden gem Santa Maria Intervineas, each offering its unique charm and serenity.

The Oliva Ascolana: A Culinary Masterpiece

No trip to Ascoli Piceno is complete without indulging in oliva ascolana, the town’s most famous dish. These stuffed and fried green olives are a triumph of flavor, combining the region’s top-quality olives with a filling of seasoned meat and breadcrumbs. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they pair beautifully with a glass of local white wine, such as Pecorino or Passerina.

Wine and Olive Oil: Liquid Gold of the Region

Le Marche is renowned for its wines and olive oils, and Ascoli Piceno is no exception. The rolling hills surrounding the town produce exceptional extra virgin olive oil, celebrated for its delicate aroma and fruity taste. Many local producers offer tastings, allowing you to experience the richness of the land firsthand.

The region’s wines are equally impressive. The robust Rosso Piceno, a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes, complements hearty meat dishes, while the crisp and floral Pecorino wine pairs beautifully with lighter fare.

Piazza del Popolo: The Heart of the City

At the heart of Ascoli Piceno lies Piazza del Popolo, often regarded as one of Italy’s most beautiful squares. Surrounded by Renaissance arcades and historic buildings, including the Palazzo dei Capitani, the square is a vibrant hub for locals and visitors alike. Sitting at a café with a cappuccino or an aperitivo, you can soak in the atmosphere and marvel at the harmonious blend of history and daily life.

A Tapestry of Artisanal Crafts

Beyond its food and wine, Ascoli Piceno is known for its artisanal crafts, particularly its traditional ceramics and lacework. Local shops offer a range of handmade goods, perfect for a unique souvenir to remember your visit.

Conclusion

Ascoli Piceno is a destination that captivates both the eyes and the palate. Whether you’re marveling at its churches, indulging in the rich flavors of its cuisine, or simply wandering its picturesque streets, this charming town offers an experience that is as enriching as it is delicious. A visit here is more than just a journey—it’s a celebration of history, culture, and the good life.
