Gaspare Spontini was born in Maiolati (province of Ancona) and was an orchestra composer and conductor. Jesi and Maiolati Spontini are right next to each other and easily accessible. To learn more about Gaspare Spontini, we suggest a visit in Maiolati to his birthplace, a visit to the artist's tomb and a walk in the park Colle Celeste which is a short walk from the old town, on a hill previously known with the name of "Colle Bellavista". The Parco Colle Celeste takes its name from the wife of Gaspare Spontini, Celeste Erard. You can enter the park through a gate, from which a long tree-lined avenue leads to in a grove surrounded by a balcony that allows to enjoy an amazing panorama going from the valley of the river Esino to the Adriatic Sea.
