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😊

Hello everyone! I'm the new volunteer

Hi! My name is Louise, I'm 26 years old, and I'm from France. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to go abroad to see what life is like elsewhere. Two years ago, in 2022, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Law, specialising in European Law. That’s how I first heard about the European Solidarity Corps (but only from an academic perspective, as we were studying several European programs). During my studies, I volunteered every summer with a French organisation that supports migrants in different aspects of their lives. The first Summer, I helped organise activities for children living in a refugee center. And the following years, I joined the legal advice service, where I assisted migrants with their administrative process to obtain or renew their residence permits. It was a truly rewarding experience that helped me grow personally. After graduation, I felt lost. I knew from my volunteering experience that I wanted a job that had a positive impact on society, but I wasn't ...

Volunteer Oct24. organizing the new house for volunteers!

Ciao, Hola and Hi! I’m Rio Rojas Mayorga, and I’ve been helping set up the new apartment for volunteers. Let me tell you about the process of organizing this future home for us! In case you didn’t know, ESC volunteers previously lived in an apartment within the Caritas enclosure. However, for various reasons, it was decided to move us to a new place in the city center. The person in charge of preparing this apartment was Fabiano, a 65-year-old volunteer. Since he had multiple apartments and projects to manage, progress on this specific one was quite slow. So, to give him a hand, I offered my time and enthusiasm to compensate for my lack of any real knowledge of construction or renovation! The house had almost everything we needed, but the problem was that it was all disassembled. It took a couple of months of assembling furniture, deep cleaning every piece, and rearranging the house fittings over and over. For most of the process, the end felt so far away. We started first w...

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...
