All around are porticoes, courtyards and views that invite you to slow down.<\/p>\n<p>And then there is the <strong>Sferisterio<\/strong>: a neoclassical monument unique in the world that dominates the city from the heights of its white stones. In summer, it is transformed into an <strong>open-air theatre<\/strong>, where music and entertainment become <strong>a shared experience under the stars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The historic buildings, museums and art collections preserve a heritage that continues to dialogue with the present. Macerata is not just a destination to visit.<\/p>\n<p>It is a city to be explored on foot, savouring its flavours \u2013 from vincisgrassi to ciauscolo, accompanied by a glass of local wine \u2013 and discovering the gentle hills and villages that surround it.<\/p>\n<p>Coming to the <strong>Macerata Opera Festival<\/strong> also means staying a few hours longer, letting yourself be surprised, experiencing the city before and after the show.<\/p>\n<p>Because <strong>Macerata is not just the backdrop to the experience<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<strong>It is part of it.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"myrow for_sep myaligncenter\"><div class=\"mysep\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The symbolic places of the city of Macerata&#8221;
