Comunanza local products and shops: what to buy
The easiest product to take home is artisan pastry. Pasticceria Stortoni has been in business for years and works with its own workshop and production, including to order. Its range includes artisan and fresh pastries, cannoli, crostate (jam tarts) and pistachio sweets. There are also cookies, small pastries, mignon pastries and themed cakes. A second pastry shop, Pasticceria Serendipity, has its own page.
Another shop worth knowing is La Rustica.
For a local drink, Comunanza has a craft brewery. It uses water from the Sibillini Mountains and grains grown by the same farm, which gives the beer a strongly local character. After the 2016 earthquake the brewery stayed open. Even so, it is wise to check that it is open before going. The town's craftspeople also include a master coppersmith, recognized by the Marche Region.
Some wines are also traditional in the Piceno area. Rosso Piceno comes from vineyards influenced by the sea breeze and sheltered by the Sibillini Mountains. Vino cotto ("cooked wine") is made in the hill areas of the province of Ascoli Piceno. It is cooked in copper cauldrons over a wood fire until reduced to no more than twenty percent of the starting quantity.
The time to get to know the local cooking is the Mazzumaja. This traditional festival takes place in the historic center and centers on tordo matto, a typical local dish. It reopens the old-time osterie and brings craft workshops and street performers for three days a year. For eating out, the list is on the page where to eat in Comunanza.
