Encyclopedic overview
Piazza del Forte Acquaviva Picena is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Ascoli Piceno in the Italian region Marche. The village lies on a hill overlooking the Valley of Tronto, just a few kilometres from the Adriatic Sea and San Benedetto del Tronto. From the top of the hill (365 m.s.l.), it is possible to see the Sibillini Mountains (Monte Vettore), and even farther away Gran Sasso and Majella.
