Ascoli Piceno (Latin: Asculum) is a comune and city in the Marche region, in central Italy. Ascoli Piceno is the capital of the province of the same name.
The central historical part of the city is built in marble called travertino, a grey-hued stone extracted from the surrounding mountains. Its central Renaissance square, Piazza del Popolo ("Square of the People") is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy.
