The Pesaro and Urbino province is experiencing growth in its cultural and economic sectors. Culturally, the region is promoting its status as a UNESCO City of Music through local initiatives like the GPS – Good Pesaro Sound festival and international tours, such as pianist Mario Mariani’s performances in South Korea and Japan. The opening of ‘Palco 50’, a multipurpose venue for theater and music, further expands the local cultural infrastructure.

Economically, the province reported a 6.4% increase in exports during the first half of 2026, totaling 1.78 billion euros. This aligns with a broader 9.2% increase in exports across the Marche region, driven largely by mechanical engineering, electronics, agriculture, and transport equipment.
