Frontino, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, is listed among The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy (I Borghi più Belli d'Italia) and presents itself as a jewel set in the historic Montefeltro, on the border between Marche and Romagna. Nicknamed the “lounge of Montefeltro” for its urban care and the beauty of the main square, the village is protected by Mount Carpegna and is part of the Sasso Simone and Simoncello Regional Natural Park. Its stone architecture, dominated by the 14th-century Civic Tower covered with Virginia creeper, and its history, marked by the legendary Battle of the Coppi, create an atmosphere of historic charm and authentic tranquility.
