Helpfulness
I just want to warn you that there is an extremely steep climb to reach Piazza della Repubblica and the heart of the city.
Duke Federico had Francesco di Giorgio Martini link Piazzale Mercatale directly to the center of town with a "semi-cylindrical bastion containing the Rampa Elicoidale, a great winding, stepped ramp (restructured in 1976)".
I really don't know if that is the ramp we used or not. I do know that we parked our car (pay parking) below and beside the walls, and walked and walked and walked....up, up, up, up for what seemed like forever. The key is to keep your back straight or else it will really hurt.
You would certainly stay in shape if you walked this each day. Allan and I are both phycially in good shape and have no back or knee problems. I just wonder about those who are overweight or in bad shape...a real challenge, indeed.

One of the Reasons We Came to the Le Marche
Known as The City of Art, Urbino was the busiest city that we visited. It was so busy that we could not find anywhere to stay. All the hotels, pensiones, rooms, hostels, etc. were booked. The entire...

Urbino, a brief special visit for a Festa del Duca
Well, what can I say about Urbino? Actually not much because it wasn’t a typical travel visit that brought me here. I came here with special people late afternoon of August 15, 2010 for Festa del...
