Skip the Rome crowds and head to Ascoli Piceno for the best fried olives you'll ever eat. Spend your morning on an e-bike tour through the travertine-soaked streets, then duck into the Cattedrale di Sant’Emidio to cool off. Grab a glass of local Pecorino at Cantina D’Erasmo before hiking up to the Tempietto di Sant’Emidio alle Grotte for the view. It is Italian history without the tourist headache, so show up hungry.
