Being just a couple of kilometres from the Adriatic means that Campofilone has always been popular with Italian tourists as shown by the array of luxury villas and apartments in the area outside the walls of the old medieval village.

Campofilone today is a beautiful and popular village and the main gate in the medieval walls are approached along a tree-lined avenue. The village is in the heart of a very fertile agricultural area that has allowed its inhabitants to flourish throughout its long history.

At the centre of the village is the Piazza del Comune that replaced the old Abbey of St Bartolomeo which was originally built there in the 11th century.

Campofilone is now world famous for its exquisite, thin egg pasta, Maccheroncini. This type of very fine egg pasta is thought to date back to the 15th century and is even mentioned in Benedictine documents from that time. The recipe was a close guarded secret and was handed down over the centuries from mother to daughter in the village and surrounding area.

In August every year the village attracts thousands of visitors to its world famous festival of Maccheroncini, where the pasta can be tasted with a wide variety of sauces and different ingredients.
