Great promenade

One of the city's most important squares is Piazza Federico II. It was named after Emperor Frederick II, who was born there in a tent on December 26, 1194. In ancient times, the Roman Forum was located on this site.

The church was originally located outside the city walls of Jesi. It first appears in 1221 in a praeceptum of Frederick II, written in favor of the Fonte Avellana monastery.

The city's most famous son is Emperor Frederick II Barbarossa, who was born here on the main square.

Giovanni Battista Percolesi was born in Jesi. He was an Italian composer, a leading representative of the transition from the Baroque to the Classical period; he is considered one of the greatest Italian musicians of the first half of the 18th century.

The structure of Castello Mancini stands out on the small eminence that dominates the Montecappone district, recalling an ancient period through a building that is not a true historic villa. Although it represents a characteristic element of the territory, Castello Mancini was built from a project by Eng. Ernesto Galeazzi only in the 1920s. Intended for the Mancini family, already owners of the first silk mill in the Fontedamo district and the homonymous paper mill in Jesi, it is a reproduction that followed the medieval taste in vogue in the early 1900s. Castello Mancini represents the desire to recall an idea of the Middle Ages that was very common at the time, with a fortified medieval construction, equipped with a crenellated crown, turrets, Gothic arch openings with mullioned windows, exposed bricks and a small private chapel annexed to the structure. The building is in terracotta, with stone decorations, with the façade dominated by a coat of arms created for the Mancini family

The building is made of terracotta, with stone decorations, with a facade dominated by a coat of arms created for the Mancini family, the first owner of the property. Before reaching it, you are greeted by a 50-meter tree-lined avenue, surrounded by tall, century-old trees that crown the evocative structure of the building.

The monument is composed of a stone and a sculptural group in memory of 7 boys shot by the Nazi-Fascists on June 20, 1944. On the stone are reported the names in a parchment engraved in the marble; underneath are sculpted flower arrangements and a funeral lamp with a burning flame. Above the stone stands a cross wrapped in creepers on whose base is the name Rossi Dino di Jesi (to whom we owe the creation of the stone itself). Next to the stone is a statuary group, depicting three frightened, suffering and desperate men, the work of the sculptor Ippoliti from 1988.
