The town dresses up for Christmas: an illuminated old town, opening Christmas markets, restaurants with winter menus. Senigallia in December is a completely different town from summer.
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 8 December, is traditionally the day Italy starts preparing for Christmas: trees are decorated, street lights turn on, Christmas markets open. In Senigallia this weekend marks the town's shift from beach season to a Marche Christmas town.
In December and January Senigallia belongs to those who live there: the deserted seafront, the quiet old town, restaurants with tables free. The loft in the old town is steps from the main square, the Foro Annonario and the churches with nativity displays. Mild temperatures by Italian standards: 8-12°C by day, 3-6°C at night, rarely snow in town.
The Immaculate Conception weekend is also an ideal time to explore the hinterland: Urbino (50 min, UNESCO) is a human-scale place in winter, without the crowds; the Marche hill towns like Ostra, Corinaldo, Mondavio are reachable in 30-40 minutes.
«The seafront deserted but beautiful under the night lights, welcoming historic restaurants: a completely different experience, slower, more authentic.»
