This is a historic place, dear to the local community.

Postignano, a hamlet of Nocera Umbra, has a history that dates back to the Lombard era. Strategically placed to guard the Via Flaminia from enemy incursions, its fortress was initially inhabited by Lombard nobles, descendants of the Arimanni of the first era. In 1150, San Rinaldo was born here and became bishop of Nocera, giving Postignano a significant presence in ecclesiastical history. In 1217, it was subjected to Assisi and subsequently passed under the dominion of the Trinci of Foligno. Inhabited until the 14th century, the castle then passed to the Apostolic Chamber and in the 16th century it became unsafe and was abandoned. Its imposing ruins are now visible even from afar.

The Castle of Gagliole, with a thousand-year history, was long owned by the municipality of San Severino during the medieval period. Its dominant position on the Potenza river valley was considered strategic since Roman times, when the Via Flaminia prolaquense was one of the most important roads in the region. However, it was in the 13th century that the da Varanos, lords of Camerino, transformed the castle into a solid and imposing military structure, making it one of the most impressive castles of their duchy.

The Torre del Cassero was built between 1311 and 1385 as part of the Castrum Raymundi complex. This fortress was part of the defensive system called "dell'Intagliata", made up of towers, moats and walls, to protect Camerino during the wars with the nearby towns of San Severino and Matelica. Il Cassero rises to over 35 meters in height. Over time, the tower became the bell tower of the adjacent church of San Biagio, which also incorporated the remains of the few remaining walls.

Gualdo Tadino is an ancient city in the province of Perugia northeast of the Umbrian capital. It is located on the lower slopes of Monte Penna, from here several nature trails start. The city has a long history and was originally an Umbrian village called Tarsina.

Water - Drinking fountain Castel S. Maria was a bone of contention between Camerino and Matelica (and beyond). Even today the peaceful houses are framed in the triple medieval walls, intact, with a clear design and precise defensive plans

Castel Santa Maria is a fraction of Macerata. The fortified nucleus is composed of concentric circles, narrow alleys leading to a square overlooked by the majestic former town hall, the parish church and other medieval buildings.
