Ascoli Piceno is a town in the region of Marche, Italy. It is the provincial capital of the eponymous province. Located at the confluence of the Tronto River and the Castellano River, it covers 160 sq km (60 sq mi) and has a population of 51,000 people (2012 estimate).

Ascoli Piceno was founded a few centuries before Rome. Over time it fell under the rule of Roman, though it did revolt once, in 91 BC, only to find itself reconquered two years later. Ascoli Piceno remained part of the Roman Empire until the latter collapsed. It was annexed into the Kingdom of Italy in 1860.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
