On Monte Calvo, it's best to ascend from the east by mountain bike, despite the numerous unnecessary stone steps that clutter the initial section. The trail, which descends west from the summit to connect with the Sentiero delle Anguille, would be less rideable and much more difficult overall.

This highlight contains three churches: The Tomba di Rotari (left), a building from the 11th and later centuries with several architectural and artistic-historical features. To the right of the portal is the apse of the 12th-century parish church of San Pietro, which collapsed in the 19th century. Next to it, in close proximity, is the 12th-century church of Santa Maria Maggiore.

It dates primarily from the second half of the 12th century and is part of a complex with two other buildings whose connection is unclear. It is known for its façade and the relief above the portal. The church's interior is basilica-style, meaning it has three naves with a raised central nave. Characteristic of the early Gothic alterations are the pointed arcades and transverse arches of the side aisles. These are supported by pillars preceded by half-columns and pilasters. The church has only three bays, and in relation to its relatively short length, the side aisles and nave are very high. In the third bay, facing the semi-hexagonal choir, the nave is vaulted by a small dome with small round-arch windows; otherwise, the nave is covered by a barrel vault with small lunettes.

A beautiful grotto church that you definitely have to see

The grotto is carved out of the rock and contains a worship cell where a statue of Archangel Michael is venerated.

In 1975 the Institute of Anthropology and Human Paleontology of the University of Siena carried out studies which led to the localization of residues of a deposit containing tools from the Upper Paleolithic which allow us to document the practice of hunting a type of wild horse, now extinct. which would also lead one to think that, at the time, the Cagnano area was characterized by grasslands in the flat areas that today form the backdrops of the Varano lagoon. Under the floor of the cave there are certainly other finds that could also date back to the Middle Palaeolithic, while there are presumably no finds from the Neolithic period given the discovery of numerous fragments of ceramic worked at the entrance to the cave.

The cave of San Michele is immersed in a natural cavity located on a hill not far from Lake Varano, in the municipality of Cagnano Varano.
