While we were renting the house in Pievebogliana, we visited the little town of Muccia many times.
From Wikipedia
Muccia is a municipal in the Province of Macerata in the region of Marche , located about 70 km southwest of Ancona and about 40 km southwest of Macerata and only about 7 km from Camerino.
In the small central piazza there is an excellent restaurant with a menu specializing in many of the local produce including porcini mushrooms, truffles and game, including Cinghiale (wild boar), venison, partridge, pheasant and woodcock. They are cooked, using recipes from the local area – the food is simple and authentic.
We also met with friends a few times at a little bar, I Giardini.
Muccia is a small, sleepy town with lovely ancient buildings. There are a few hotels and B&B’s in the Muccia area if you ever feel like a peaceful break.
We stayed in the area close by for a month and were never short of things to do. Of course you do need your own transport. We drove to Camerino, Macerata, Castelraimondo, Madelena and other small towns in the area often.

Marche is one of three regions in Italy to which I have not been, so I really enjoyed this post, Lyn and especially the photos. Thank you.. Beautiful
Margie. This is one of the things that make this area so special as it is not over run with tourists
Gee, Margie, if you ask Lyn really nicely, she might tell you of an amazing house to rent there! ;-) After visiting the area regualarly for 10 years, I still marvel at the views to the mountains and neat villages replete with stone houses. The people are very friendly and the food is great and reasonably priced. What’s not to like?
The stone buildings over there in Italy are something else. Once again, great photos. Jd.
Hey you thanx
I loved seeing this post! We actually just came back from Camerino in June of this year. My husbands family are all from Camerino and we got to see all of the family and see this beautiful town. The peopel are great, the food is great and I fell in love with everything there! Searching the history was just wonderful. We can’t wait to go back next year.
Please share more pics if you go back again.
