Jesi's most flamboyant building is Palazzo Pianetti the long galleries are an extravaganza of stucco with magnificent ceilings
Jesi's most flamboyant building is Palazzo Pianetti. Apart from its hundred windows, the bland facade little prepares you for the over-the-top Rococo flourishes inside. The most extravagant part is the sugar-candy stucco work in the long galleria. The over-blown decoration alone would merit a visit; the added bonus of the civic art gallery (Pinacoteca Comunale) makes it obligatory as here is kept a small group of some of Lorenzo Lotto's finest works - The thriving and elegant centre of Jesi is one of the most beguiling towns in Le Marche, Italy, and boasts a sophisticated old centre and lively cultural life that should not be missed. Its most striking feature is a belt of massive 14thC walls built on Roman foundations, strengthened with buttresses and impregnable towers, and topped by houses. Jesi's largest square is dominated by the town's 18thC theatre, Teatro Pergolesi, home to a prestigous autumn opera season and named after the composer Pergolesi who was born here in 1710.
