Campofilone, a small hilly village (about 200 m sea-level) in the South of Marche Region (Fermo district), where the sweet hills climb down to the sea creating a 2 km beach.

Campofilone and its past: In the Marche toponomy of Giulio Amadio Testa, the name of the village Campofilone derives from the Latin "Campus Fullonus", that is, land of dyers and launderers. Known for its Benedictine abbey, the rampant lion on the coat of arms and the medieval walls, Campofilone is mostly synonymous with an ancient culinary tradition: that of egg noodles.
