Beautiful experience! We spent a pleasant morning with Giancarlo, a very nice and perfect teacher who welcomed us into his workshop and showed us an interesting technique for working with clay. It is a suitable activity even for those who have never tried crafting, really relaxing and engaging! For a few hours you disconnect from everything focusing only on the material and creativity. An experience that I recommend to everyone and with the opportunity you can stroll through the streets of one of the most beautiful villages in the Marche! Thank you Giancarlo 😊

I enjoyed learning about the details present in the Basilica of San Francesco that are unknown to most people. I would prefer it to last longer for the same price

Very interesting, we had never noticed the details ourselves, and the tower with its view was fabulous, with the Duomo as the icing on the cake.
