Tips
If you are passing through, do not miss it, if you are from the area and have never seen it yet: get on your bike and ride it, the effort will be rewarded, I guarantee it! It represents one of the masterpieces of Romanesque architecture of our beautiful Marche, and owes its name to the Chienti river that flows right next to it. It was declared a national monument in 1902. The church was built in its current configuration in 1125 as reported in the two epigraphs inside. But the papers of the well-known Farfa abbey, on which the friars who founded it depended, speak of the church as early as 936.
