Ostra - The antiques and the restoration

 
Ostra is famed for antique furniture restoration: it actually boasts a prestigious school for antique furniture restoration, specialized in wood and iron.
The school also organizes courses of embroidery, decorative painting of interiors and glass making. There are several workshops of expert and experienced artisans in town. In August Ostra hosts the National Market of Antiques, Arts and Crafts, a must-see event for antiques lovers. Situated on a hill with a fascinating view towards the Misa valley, Ostra belongs to the National Association of Wine Cities, the National Association Cities of Honey and boasts the Orange Flag. According to tradition the town was founded by the refugees from the Roman town of Ostra destroyed by the Goti. It is surrounded by medieval walls featuring nine towers. In its red-brick main square stand the neo-classical town hall and the theatre La Vittoria. Not far from the centre a must see attraction is the eighteenth century Sanctuary of Madonna della Rosa, which houses the miraculous seventeenth century edicola dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The most typical products are: Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, the local red wine, and the extra virgin olive oil obtained from “Raggia” olive, one of Marche’s finest olive variety.
