Penna San Giovanni is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Macerata in the Italian region Marche, located about 60 km south of Ancona and about 30 km south of Macerata.
Penna San Giovanni borders the following municipalities: Amandola, Falerone, Gualdo, Monte San Martino, Sant'Angelo in Pontano, Servigliano.
Penna is a beautiful and ancient hill top town. There are half a dozen churches (none distinguished) and a tiny early nineteenth century theatre. In the summer the Commune lays on events on many evenings, including the Festa della Polenta. If you climb to the very top of the town you come to the remains of the ancient fort with a panoramic view up to the mountains and looking out at the surrounding hilltop towns.
