Fermo is a main manufacture center of outstanding Italian shoe brands and a beautiful historical town. The beautiful landscape around the city of Fermo is dotted by small, high quality factories that produce the world class leather goods that you’ll find in the best shops around the world. The outlets are not grouped in big malls and finding them will require some driving but the quality is excellent and the prices are really tempting. Moreover you’ll drive across a beautiful countryside and in your errands you’ll be able to discover some Italian art treasures to enrich your shopping trip. For your convenience, here is a map of some of the most interesting Italian shoe factories of the Marche region. Click on the little blue marks to read about each factory outlet. During July and August the stands are all over the town center every Thursday night. We started the evening with an impromptu wine tasting of Passerina and Pecorino , two excellent local wines made with grapes typical of this area.
Stalls were selling all sorts of antiques and hand made goods, from ceramics to tiny baby shoes.Climbing the twisty streets we finally arrived at the main square that suddenly opened in front of us like a theater curtain.

On our way out of town we met a group of drummers in mediaeval costumes announcing the beginning of the games for the Cavalcata dell’Assunta, a two week long medieval festival with costume reenactments, games, costume parades and competitions.
