THE PICENO ... A WORLD THAT WELCOMES YOU WITH OPEN ARMS

I vivai Ciarrocchi sono immersi nella vallata marchigiana a due passi dal mare in un territorio incredibile

Immersed in the Marche valley at stone’s throw from the sea and dominated by ancient medieval castles, Ciarrocchi nurseries are situated in a prime location, enhanced by the sun and the Mediterranean climate.

Due to these unique characteristics of the Marche region and to our passion for quality of life, our Gardenias and Camellias grow lush , healthy and ” bright ” …. just as our spirit !

History And Culture In The Midst Of Camelie And Gardenias


The Ciarrocchi nurseries are located in a place surrounded by history and culture: you can find inside the area a small ancient church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel

Historical documents, stored in the Episcopal Curia of Montalto Marche, does not specify the period of the foundation of the small building, but in the notes made by Bishop Monacelli during his visit in 1825 it is stated that the church “was erected from immemorial time to the glory of S. Michael the Archangel”.

Currently you can only guess the original plant since the damage and neglect over the centuries have left standing only part of the perimeter load-bearing walls. In fact, there are no traces of the ancient covering and massive deposits of soil have covered the external walls and the inner flooring. The Superintendence for the Architectural and Landscape of the province of Ascoli Piceno, together with the Ciarrocchi family, presented a renovation project for the church of S. Michael the Archangel, to return to the people the beauty of this little gem nestled in the Picene hills !

The Piceno : Always “Door Of The East “ Of Our Country

Overlooking the Adriatic Sea in central Italy, on the Italian territory, Piceno is characterized by the presence of the Apennines , which gently slope along valleys parallel to the sea. The Marche region is characterized by the rare beauty that has made it a land of great personalities, such as Giacomo Leopardi, Raffaello, Giovan Battista Pergolesi, Gioachino Rossini, Gaspare Spontini, Father Matteo Ricci, Frederick II, who were born here . The quality of water and facilities is certified by as many as 18 blue flags, for an area that includes 180 kilometers of coastline, 26 towns bordering the Adriatic Sea, 9 marinas : this is the certified high quality beach holiday in the Marche.
