Places
of entertainment for the elderly
Le
Marches are profoundly linked to their traditions, as a consequence people
in this region greatly respect the elderly. As is the case of other
societies that can still boast a rooted rural culture, the elderly are
considered the custodians of a valuable knowledge, which deserves
attention.
It
is against this background that the elderly are “spoiled” when
they visit this region, thanks to the warm welcome by this region’s
inhabitants.
Not
only is it possible to make nice walks in the quiet woods and on the
beautiful shores of the Marches,
but the elderly can also enjoy lots of activities and entertainment.
Breathing
the air on the hills or along the coast (where the air is rich in iodine),
the elderly can choose between cultural visits with coaches to the many
historical and artistic sites of the region, or guided tours to natural
parks. They may decide to idle on the shores or wear a gym suit to do some
fitwalking, gym for the elderly or the Tai Chi. They can also
choose to apply the Feldenkrais or Pilates technique.
When
the sun sets, they can opt for a theatre show or a film, or decide to go
dancing, the region offers many places where to dance traditional dances
such as polkas and tangos.
In
case the elderly wish to be alone, they may enjoy enchanting hamlets, or
simply establish new social relationships, discovering unexpected shared
interests.
In
addition, cinemas, theatres, museums, public transport means and travel
agencies offer discounts to people aged over 60, so that it is possible to
enjoy the culture of this region at affordable prices.
The
elderly will therefore fully experience social relations, equilibrium,
serenity, charming places, joy, knowledge and culture in the Marches. Such
experience shall have the beneficial effect and the sweet taste of an
elixir of youth.
