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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
