The palace is also called the "Palazzo del Podestá." It was first mentioned in 1259. It was expanded and structurally altered in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Fonte Avellana Monastery has 1000 years of history, Dante also wrote about it in the XXI canto of Paradise, and you can breathe the spirituality of the monks' activity and the surrounding nature. I recommend staying, to enjoy it in the evening and in the morning when there are no tourists.

I left home and did part of the Ciclovia, quiet roads with little traffic. I had difficulty with the navigator that often wanted to send me to the gravel track (longer and more challenging). There is good signage anyway (very large and colorful signs) so it is difficult to get lost and you can download the tracks on the site. Lots of long and challenging climbs, you need a trained leg but the landscapes and places are splendid. Highly recommended!!! The most beautiful part (for me) from Frontone to Piobbico!

Welcoming village bar perfect for a coffee break or a breakfast with brioche and cappuccino.

Very nice route even if the climb is a bit steep, be careful on the descent though, as it is very steep and there are rocks where you risk slipping, also always be careful on the downhill part because it is not well signposted

The view when you reach the summit is not surprising, because the summit cross - which seems almost gigantic and can therefore be seen from afar - crowns Monte CATRIA and is unmistakable. But despite its enormous mass, the cross erected here does not seem overwhelming at all; in fact, due to the steel framework construction (the most famous example of which is the Eiffel Tower in Paris), it appears almost delicate.

Tough climb on a dirt road, but worth it!

In his text, Stefano Aimar briefly mentions Dante and his "Divine Comedy". Not everyone will be familiar with this. A short film (in German) by and with Tilman Spengler as part of the ARD series "Classics of World Literature" presents the life and, as an outstanding work, the "Divina Commedia" of DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265 to 1321). The Florentine native died and was buried in Ravenna. Let us hope that he has actually arrived in heaven - like his literary alter ego - and that he has found his dearly beloved Beatrice there. Anyone who would like to find out more in the ARD media library (the German-language film only lasts a quarter of an hour) just needs to follow the link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/dante-alighieri/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2E0YmE3OWQzLTk2NjAtNGUyYS04OTBlLTY2N2E5YmJjNGZlNw
