"All Roads Led to Rome"...well, in Rome...all vacationers go to San Benedetto.  The Trifecta of Eastern Italian Vacation Spots, San Benedetto captures you...and the only thing you can do?  Ask for more! San Benedetto, Italy As a quick intro, I am going to tell you about my experience in San Benedetto and spark your mind to (hopefully) prove me right about this city in Italy by actually going there yourself.  First, just a little bit of history about the place: San Benedetto is actually "San Benedetto del Tronto" as it is known by the locals in the area.  Good ole' San Betty is no laughing matter as she is a big girl with 50K people about her.  Mama Mia!  She is the 2nd biggest city in this region of Le Marche--which means there is "a whole lota stuff to do". Also, like most Italian cities named after a person, San Benedetto was actually a martyr during Emperor Diocletian's timeframe...you can read all about that stuff on this Wiki...
