Known as an important industrial hub, thanks to the production of paper (Cartiere Miliani Fabriano, which today produces mainly banknote paper but was once famous for F4. drawing sheets) and household appliances (the Merloni family industries: Indesit Company, Ariston Thermo Group; and those that produce range hoods: Elica, Faber, etc.).

Fabriano is the city you don't expect, which should be visited on foot, among the narrow streets of the center. The first stop can only be the paper museum, which is visited by thousands of tourists and schoolchildren every year. Starting from the hand-making of paper to the display of watermarks. One can also visit the Museum of Historical Piano and Sound. Here we find a display of as many as 18 historical pianos from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, with a real journey through the history of the evolution of the piano and, in parallel, the music of the great composers.

The Town Hall Square, is triangular and at its center stands the Sturinalto Fountain, dating back to 1285. The open space is overlooked by some of the most important buildings: the Palazzo Podestà, the Palazzo del Comune, and the Loggiato di San Francesco. The latter dates from the mid-15th century and has a wonderful structure composed of 19 high arches that arouses much interest because of the perspective effect created with the steep square.
