Sant'Igne: the name itself evokes something mysterious, strange, yet its etymology is common to that of other places in Feretania such as Carpegna, Fusigno or Sapigno, and is attested in the original form of Santegna since the year 1300, in a parchment of 17 May, where a reconciliation is stipulated between the bishop of Montefeltro and some territories of his jurisdiction.

The Cloister inside the Monastery is spectacular ........ and the peace that reigns all around.

Sant'Igne: the name itself evokes something mysterious, strange, yet its etymology is common to that of other places in Feretrano such as Carpegna, Fusigno or Sapigno, and is attested in the original form of Santegna since the year 1300, in a parchment of 17 May, where a reconciliation is stipulated between the bishop of Montefeltro and some territories of his jurisdiction.
Santegna, therefore, and not Sant'Igne, i.e. sacred fire (ignis=fire), as the legend has it, widespread since the 16th century, which links the place to the miracle of a luminous apparition which would have indicated to the poor man of Assisi the right way.
A peculiarity of the church of Sant'Igne is represented by the plan, formed by a rectangular hall onto which a short transept is inserted which ends, laterally to the choir, with two symmetrical chapels with a square plan.
Through a "beater" door you enter the quadrangular cloister, delimited by twenty octagonal columns with "water leaf" capitals, supporting the four pitches of the sloping roof. The church's bell tower overlooks the cloister, decorated with a stone coat of arms of Federico da Montefeltro, chiseled in the sixteenth century. Among the most evocative rooms of the convent complex is the chapter house, still equipped with the original trefoil windows, similar to those of the church.
