Ancona, founded 2400 years ago, owes
its origins to the ancient civilizations grown
around its natural harbour.
It lives stretched out towards the sea and is
embraced by Conero’s promontory.
Ancona is Marche’s chief town, the centre of
the Adriatic coast, a Region constituted by
hills, boroughs of art and vanguards of the
Italian style, exported all around the world.
With its 100000 habitants, Ancona is an active
and productive city, full of historical sites
and cultural events.
The city is also located at the centre of dense
networks of contacts and interesting places:
from the extraordinary Frasassi Caves to
Urbino, one of the many World Heritage Sites
protected by UNESCO.
From the sporting point of view, Ancona
is rich of sports centers, so much so that is
among the top five cities of the Country, for
rate of sportsmanship: in fact there isn’t a better
place to keep fit, to train and to compete.
For all these reasons, the FIDAL (Federazione
Italiana di Atletica Leggera-Athletics Italian
Federation) decided to build here the most
important structure indoor at a national level:
the Palaindoor, inaugurated in 2005; since
then it’s the headquarter of several Italian
Championships and, in 2009, of the European
Indoor Master Championships.
Thanks to the European Championships that
took place in 2009 the project, Ancona EMACI
2016, was born.
It is a sport event for everyone that unites
efficiency in the organisation, quality of our
welcoming and the opportunity to discover a
city and a region where it is possible to practise
any kind of sport and to grow at a cultural
level.

The city offers a large landscape of its
two thousands years of history, always
through the Adriatic sea and its cultures: the
roman route from the Arch of Trajan to the
amphitheatre;
the Ancona’s medieval period with the
Saint Ciriaco’s cathedral that dominates
the Guasco hill, the Loggia dei Mercanti
(Merchants’ Lodge) and other buildings;
the modern and contemporary city
grown around its harbour: from the Mole
Vanvitelliana to the forts that surround the
city and to the parks that enter in the heart of
the town. The surroundings of Ancona and of Marche
offer a wide choice of excursions and trips.
Some examples are:
The Mount Conero Park, in the south of the
city, that is a protected area where land and
sea meet;
Offagna, Recanati and Montefano, that are
historical boroughs castled on Marche’s hill;
The Basilica della Santa Casa (Basilica of the
Holy House) of Loreto, that is one of the most
important Christian shrines;
The Frasassi Caves, the biggest European
hypogeum complex, with 30km of routes
