The music of Marche has been shaped by the fact that the entire region is a collection of small centers of population. There is no culural giant to be found—no Florence or Naples—that might have shape the cultural and musical expressions of the entire region. There isn't a town in the region with more than 100,000 population, but there are 246 total towns, and they support no fewer than 113 theaters, a cultural building boom that started in the late 1700s. Historically, the entire area was home to a great number of monasteries and abbeys in the Middle Ages, institutions that had choirs and were active in the musical lives of the inhabitants. That period is still obscure and is currently the subject of musicological research. In the modern age, the region has a vibrant musical life. The music of Italy is well-known, and includes numerous musical types, ranging from parish street bands to symphony orchestras, modern rock and pop and opera houses. ...
