Location The seaside resort town of Pesaro lies on the east coast of central Italy and is famous for its fine golden beaches lapped by the Adriatic Sea and picturesque old town. The outstanding Italian composer Gioachino Antonio Rossini so loved his hometown that he left most of his estate to Pesaro on his death. Make sure to visit his home, Casa Rossini, while you are there. Being the town with the highest number of cy- clists in Italy, Pesaro can easily be explored by bike with its many paths. The old town with its cafes and restaurants is charming and there is much to see while strolling around. Famous for seafood, the town’s restaurants offer many local fish dishes that are not to be missed, with panoramic views over the water and the coastline. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/pesa- ro/top-things-to-do/a/poi/360080 How to get there The ACE Institute is located at Corso XI Settembre, 92.
