From Veneto Sara travels to Marche, a small coastal region on the Adriatic Sea. Sara is in Urbino, where the painter Raffaello was born. She wanted to go because the city is famous for its Renaissance architecture: Sara is now visiting the magnificent Ducal Palace, built by Federico da Montefeltro. The Palace houses the painting of the Renaissance “ideal city” (mathematical harmony and perfection, neo-classical style) and one of the best preserved libraries in Italy.
