Spots, coffe and more

Appart from the work we do in Caritas, we like to expolre what Jesi and the surrounding area has to offer. So here we present you a list of some of our favurites things; food coffe and nice places to visit!

SPOTS TO SEE:

Lake of Cingoli

Born from the damming of the Musone River in the 1980s, Lake Cingoli (or Castreccioni) is today the largest artificial basin in the Marche region. It's the perfect place to spend the afternoon with friends, eat lunch and have an aperitivo.

Monte San Vicino

San Vicino is a mountain of the Umbrian-Marches Apennines located in the province of Macerata, not far from the border with the province of Ancona. A perfect spot to go for a hike and the top of the mountain is the perfect place to have a picnic and enjoy the views.

Perugia

A city of art rich in history and monuments, Perugia is a cultural, productive, and managerial hub of the region, and an international tourist destination. The University of Perugia (1308) is one of the oldest in Italy and in the world.

FOOD TO TRY:

Il Ristorantino Jesi

We really recomend this place! The food and service is amazing and they have food that is special for the Marche region, and if you are lucky you can sit on the terrase and watch the rolling valleys as the sun sets.

Tasty poke

This spot is right next our apartment and serve good poke for a good price, especially if you manage to get the student price. This can also be good if you are craving sushi, since the sushi here in Jesi is quite expencive.

Sardinian Street Food

This place serves fishburgers that are inspied by the sardinian kitchen and they are amazing. The place is very smal but nice, and the fries are to die for!

COFFE TO DRINK:

Bar verdi

This place is perfect for breakfast, they serve both good sandwiches and pastries. It offers good outdoor seating and, most importantly, is only a few minutes from Caritas.

Rab Nouvecento

During the day, Bar verdi is usually not open, so then this is the perfect place for a coffe during lunch break or right after work.

Pasticceria Zoppi Srl

This is a newly found favourite! It's nice sitt outside and the interior is really nice, but most importantly they have amzing pastries for really good prices. This is a must if you're craving something sweet!

Gara caffetteria

Best coffe in Jesi! It's right by the very trafficated street Via del Vittoria so the outdoor seating is not ideal, but the inside offers a nice place to enjoy your coffe. They serve food aswell but it is a bit more pricey, so we recomend coming only for the coffe.

If you get the chance we hope that you will give one of our recomendations a try😊

European Solidarity Corps and Servizio Civile Universale volunteers

Ciao! It's Louise. Today I would like to speak about the connection that exists between ESC and "Servizo civile" (SCU) volunteers. As an ESC volunteer, my experience is different from the SCU volunteers in several ways. For one, I am an international volunteer coming to Italy for six months, whereas the SCU volunteers are Italians staying in Caritas for one whole year. Second, the SCU volunteers work in just one service for a three-month period (Centro d'ascolto, cucina, emporio or reception). I, on the other hand, move between different areas of Caritas each day, giving me a wider variety of tasks and responsibilities. This also means it took me longer than them to adapt and become efficient, but after just a few weeks or months, I became more independent in every service, whereas they have to adapt to a new service every three months. I met the SCU volunteers of Caritas during my second week when they returned from their training. I had the chance to work alongside ...

My experiences with migrants in Caritas

Hello everyone! It's Louise. Today, I'd like to share with you two actions in which I recently participated. They taught me a lot, both on a human level and in terms of the concrete challenges involved in welcoming and supporting migrants in Italy. Welcoming migrants on their arrival at the port Two weeks ago, I went with Marco D’Aurizio (President of Caritas Jesina) and other workers of Caritas Ancona to welcome a group of 276 migrants who had arrived on the Ocean's Viking (a boat that rescues migrants at sea) at Ancona’s port. We were there at 8am, under grey skies and a cold wind, ready to hand out breakfast: a bottle of water, an apple, a filled brioche, and tea for those who wanted it. The reception was very closely supervised by the police, which made the organisation very rigorous, but also a little tense. At first, we let people sit down, take time to eat and warm up. But soon, the police were pressing us to get the migrants onto the buses waiting nearby. So, we h...

Volunteer Oct24. 3 months so far!

Ciao, Hola and Hi! I’m Río Rojas Mayorga and it's been 3 months since I'm an ESC volunteer here in Caritas Jesina. Let me update you briefly about my experience! The arrival and first week in Caritas was a mix of emotions between the excitement to start and the confusion of all the new people and information we were bombarded with. At first we didn't have a schedule and it was a little bit messy but, I'm glad I shared so much time with my project partner; it was nice having someone in the same situation. First month Once the schedule was set, we had to adjust not only to the work but also to the people we shared the time with. As all the services are done with local people, at first it was difficult the communication as I had no words in Italian, but I was gladly surprised to find out my will of talking and sharing was lovely appreciated and corresponded, I found out the language barrier was a challenge but i wasn’t fighting it alone. My birthday arrived eventually an...
