About Le Bianche dei Castelli
A Rally to Discover the Marche Region on Two Wheels
Le Bianche dei Castelli is the new motorcycle touring event that brings motorcycle enthusiasts from all over Italy and beyond to Staffolo, a small village in the Province of Ancona overlooking the Castelli di Jesi. From June 5th to 7th, 2026, the historic center of the town becomes the logistical base for two great tours, which together cover over 440 km of smooth white roads and paved secondary roads, winding through the provinces of Ancona, Macerata, and Pesaro-Urbino, passing through 31 municipalities in the Marche hinterland.
White Roads, Castles, and Inland Villages
The route develops in loops between the north and south of the Marche Region and touches valleys, summits, passes, lakes, and historic villages, offering participants a journey that alternates technical riding with scenic landscapes. The itinerary reprises and expands the route of "Le Bianche dei Castelli," created in 2022 as a free tourist route by the Borgoland Community Cooperative of Staffolo to showcase the Castelli di Jesi territory through secondary roads, museums, abbeys, and tastings of typical local products. Maxi-enduro motorcycles are best suited to tackle the unpaved sections that characterize a large part of the route.
A Collaborative Event for the Territory
The initiative is born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Staffolo, Orma Project, an entity specializing in motorcycle tourism hospitality in the Marche since 2014, and the Moto Club Carpediem Offroad of Ancona. The stated goal is to make Staffolo and its castles a destination for slow cycling and motorcycle tourism, enhancing an inland area rich in historical heritage and food and wine traditions, starting with the famous Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.
Not Just Motorcycles
Alongside the tours, the program includes tastings, short visits to places of interest along the route, a convivial dinner in the historic center of Staffolo, initiatives dedicated to companions, and an exhibition of motorcycles of historical and sporting interest, with the presence of companies and dealers in the sector. A weekend designed to combine the passion for two wheels with the authentic discovery of the Province of Ancona and the inland Marche.
