Altidona is a quiet historic small village close to Fermo and Porto san Giorgio in southern Le Marche. It is only 3km from the Adriatic coast and often overlooked by visitors who tend to head for Pedaso, which is much larger and on the coast slightly further south.It is also often confused with Lapedona which is a slightly larger village very close by and slightly further inland.

The population of the area of the Comune of Altidona which also covers the surrounding countryside is just over 3,000 and Altidona also belongs to the Union of the Comuni Valdaso.The area was originally settled by the Piceni tribe and over the centuries the area has seen many different settlers and these have left many important historic sites, museums and churches. In the beautiful parish church hangs a painting by the famous Italian artist, Vincenzo Pagani and this is well worth a visit.

In the village there are several small bars and a lovely small restaurant which serves the local pasta dishes famous in this area.From the walls there are panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and also views of the Adriatic sea to the east.
