Mogliano

Published in Le Marche Itineraries
Mogliano may be located in the modern province of Macerata, but its roots are strictly 'Picena', if a little mysterious. The hilltop town has certainly been inhabited from the Iron age, but recent tomb finds have been identified as 6th century B.C. inscriptions in archaic Greek, similar to those found in Loro Piceno, Belmonte, Servigliano and Falerone.
