For those who love archaeology, here's what to see between the center and the hills: the Oliveriano Archaeological Museum (via Mazza) in the exhibition that documents a thousand years of history – from the Picene period to the late imperial age – and is divided into four exhibition sections: the Picene necropolis of Novilara, the lucus pisaurensis, the town hall of Pisaurum and eighteenth-century collecting (also evening opening on 14 August 21-23pm). At the domus in via dell'Abbondanza you can admire the remains of a noble residence from the early imperial age, richly decorated with mosaics; on the walls are projections of three-dimensional reconstructions of the ancient rooms. A Colombarone we visit an archaeological area – and the antiquarium – exceptional because it is immersed in the greenery of the San Bartolo Park between the Marche and Romagna; here are preserved the remains of a rich late-imperial residence on whose structures, starting from the middle of the 6th century AD, the Christian complex of the basilica of San Cristoforo ad Aquilam was established.

Staying in the San Bartolo Park, guided tours of Villa Caprile, commissioned by the Marquis Giovanni Mosca as a summer residence for leisure and relaxation on the hills outside the city and known for its gardens with historic water features still in operation, capable of surprising the visitor (especially the little ones) with sudden jets.

For Ferragosto there is also a wide choice for exhibitions. At Palazzo Mosca – Musei Civici, 'Spazi a tempo' offers a significant survey of the work of Olivo Barbieri curated by Alessandro Dandini de Sylva: from a wide selection of photographic and video works from the site specific_ series emerges a reflection on the perception of cities of the 21st century. At the Visual Arts Center, 'In the rules of beauty' the project conceived by Numero Cromatico for the Pescheria that explores the relationship between human beings, nature and technologies and invites the public to imagine new ways of inhabiting the world; a pleasant evening opening is planned that offers at 21 pm, a free activity for children entitled 'The carpet of pixels' to discover how humans connect with nature. At Casa Rossini and the Rossini National Museum 'Rossini in London 1824-2024' the usual exhibition curated by the Rossini Foundation which for 2024 is dedicated to the composer's brief but intense British stay which concluded his tour of the capitals. At the Washington Patrignani Marine Museum you can visit Verde d'alghe, the intervention by the artist Benni Bosetto, curated by Attilia Franchini Fattori, for the District 11 – Porto – Mare, which constitutes the ninth episode of the Pesaro 2024 project 'From sculptures in the city to community art' edited by Marcello Smarrelli. Deborah Coli's solo show at the Rossini GalleryEtere' edited by Carlo Bruscia. At Casa Bucci, by appointment you can visit De Bestiarium Naturis, the exhibition with Fantastic drawings, imaginary stories and illustrated dishes by Andrea Carlo Pedrazzini curated by Viviana Bucci.

But since we are UNESCO Creative City of Music, the day of August opens and closes with music with 4 decidedly interesting proposals. We start at dawn, at 5.45am at the Molo di Levante, with the fourth edition of 'The listening space. The voice of sculpture' multi-year project by WunderKammer Orchestra (WKO) and Archivio Loreno Sguanci which offers a tribute to Eliseo Mattiacci 5 years after his death with a performance of music and dance in front of his symbolic sculpture, Reflection of the Cosmic Order.
