To know

Geographical notes
47 km away from Macerata, the city of Camerino is located between the valleys of Chienti and Potenza, in a suggestive position on a hill in the center of the mountainous area of the province of Macerata, closed to the south by the massif of the Sibillini Mountains and to the north by the Monte San Vicino.
When to go
Camerino is affected by a humid continental climate, typically sub-Apennine. Annual rainfall amounts to 1042 mm, with maximums between autumn and spring. Its east-north-east exposure, only partially limited by the mountains that separate it from the coast, means that in winter it is affected by frequent and often very abundant snowfalls. Summers are hot, but mitigated in minimum values and rarely sultry.
