Things to Do  

Le Statue SENZA TESTE

Le Statue SENZA TESTE, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  Right in the palazzo comunale on the piazza del comune, are some of the Roman remnants of Vetus Auximum (Old Osimo). These statues are the reason why the people of Osimo are generally called "Senza Testa" (Headless). During wars back in ancient times it was common to cut of... 

Piazza del Comune

Piazza del Comune, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  The center hub of town life, this nice little square is a must when in Osimo :) Every evening around six locals will walk the corso (main street) which starts from the piazza del comune. All Italian towns (and even neighborhoods in big cities) have this routine every night,... 

Via Del Cassero

Via Del Cassero, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  The only reason I'm putting this as a "must see" activity is because this street is close to my heart. I lived for a year on this street, on the third floor of the yellow row house at the end. This area of town is the Duomo district, the oldest part of Osimo. On Via del... 

Roman Fountain - Fonte Magna

Roman Fountain - Fonte Magna, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  This picture doesn't do Fonte Magna much justice since you have to be there to experience that quiet, tranquil atmosphere. Also, the fall and spring (especially the fall!) are nicer because the trees provide cool shade and it's more colorful. Worth a visit for relaxation and... 

Palazzo Baldeschi

Palazzo Baldeschi, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  Palazzo Baldeschi is my favorite building in Osimo. It stands right off of the main square at the end of Via Cinque Torri. Inside amoung the renaissance arches is a restaurant. I couldn't tell you how the food is since I had never eaten there [too expensive I heard :-)], but... 

The Duomo of Osimo

The Duomo of Osimo, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  The Duomo (in Italy the "Duomo" is the main cathedral of a town or city) of Osimo stands near the highest point of the town. It's about 1000 years old in a wonderful romanesque style. It is by far my favorite church in the town because of its simplicity and the atmosphere... 

Nightlife  

Silicon Cafe: The best cocktails in Italy!

Silicon Cafe: The best cocktails in Italy!, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  If your're in Osimo, definitely get a drink at Silicon Cafe, a small establishment right on the main street Corso Mazzini. Order any drink with Pineapple or Peach (preferrably with vodka); they cut REAL and FRESH pineapples and peaches and squeeze out the juice right in... 

Off The Beaten Path  

The Side Streets

The Side Streets, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  As in any Italian town, get LOST in the side streets. Just let them take you to hidden places of town and DONT use a MAP! Don't worry, Italy (especially small town Italy) is extremely safe. The only thing you may encounter are stray cats and maybe some glares from old... 

The Surrounding Countryside

The Surrounding Countryside, Osimo

 xristos83 Says:  As everywhere in Italy, Osimo is surrounded by beautiful landscape. If you travel to Italy, it is definitely worth having a car to see places that most tourists don't go. This is a picture of a vineyard in the autumn along the road from Osimo to Macerata.

Osmio - Citta' senza Testa

xristos83 profile photo

 I had lived in Osimo for about a year (Sept. of 2000 to July of 2001) during my junior year of High School. I was an exchange student through AFS and lived with a wonderful Italian family in the...
