Poggio Rocchetta is a small village located in the Rio Tallacano valley. It was once a strategically important position for controlling the valley floor. In the surroundings, the Petriennio cave and the Agore waterfall are of particular interest, which often have the town as their starting point.

Poggio Rocchetta has played a significant role in controlling the surrounding area in different historical periods. Interesting is his place on the Ascolani castle committee in the 14th century, his participation in papal rebellions in the 16th and 19th centuries, and his involvement in the resistance to Italian unification under the Piedmontese army. Unfortunately it was damaged by a series of earthquakes that started in 2016 and access to the area is currently restricted.
