The legendary Ivonne Raffaeli, founder of the Traversata delle Marche project, has organized a truly unique event to celebrate Carnival in an original way: a sunset trek followed by a torchlit night walk, surrounded by breathtaking views and the enchantment of the forest.
The event will take place on Tuesday, March 4, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Participants will embark on a scenic route through the Conero woods, walking beneath the last rays of daylight and reaching the Belvedere Nord to admire Ancona illuminated from above — an unforgettable experience blending sport, nature, and wonder.
