San ROCCO was chosen as the patron saint for this church and the corresponding parish. Saint Roch was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of Roch's depiction in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day. The memorial day of San Rocco in the calendar of saints is August 16th.

Lago del Salto is a small but successive artificial lake near Rieti whose circumference is about 32 km of asphalted and mostly flat road. A wonderful route to do by bike, even with the family, taking into account both the low car traffic and the good condition of the road surface perfectly passable with MTB, GRAVEL, City Bike, Racing bike etc. and the beautiful naturalistic views of the lake and the mountains. Along the route there are several rest areas where you can rest and eat a sandwich, but there is also a bar with a beautiful view near the dam. Also along the route you will encounter the town of Fiumata, diametrically opposite the dam, and the town of Borgo San Pietro, halfway between Fiumata and the dam, this is the ideal starting point thanks to the large spaces available for parking cars, but above all for the numerous restaurants with a view of the lake, open all year round and offering excellent local dishes, ideal to enjoy especially after a nice ride like this. For those who want to make the undertaking more challenging there is the variant that passes through Varco Sabino and then through the town of Rigatti, the tour is extended by a total of 10 km, testing a truly challenging climb and descent. Definitely worth trying.

The passage over the dam is spectacular and the "jump" below is very impressive.

wonderful place, the trail is very easy

"On the east side of the Lucretili Mountains, immersed in oak and fir woods, the two Percile lakes, also called "Lagustelli", seem to rest. They are two small bodies of water of karst origin protected by an integral reserve within the Natural Park Regional dei Monti Lucretili. The largest lake, with a diameter of almost 120 meters, is called Fraturno while the smaller one, located a few meters away, is called Marraone" (source: Lazio Nascosto)

These splendid lakes are a testimony of the karst phenomenon on the Lucretili mountains. The largest, the Fraturno lake, exposed to the sun, the smallest enclosed in a deep sinkhole. Immersing yourself in the Fraturno waters is a unique experience if you overcome the initial skepticism of the muddy bottom!

Absolutely beautiful to visit
