you can see it from the street

Even the alarm clock in my opinion

Work by Gianni Calcagnini entitled "Thought is faster than Action", a permanent installation located inside the Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo. The large iron sculpture, over 6 meters high and 10 meters long, was born as a hymn to freedom, to the desire to know and to the power of positive thinking that guides action; a drive to always move forward; a sign of power and strength that man must never lose or rather must always be able to find even in difficult moments like today, for a better future. An Arabian horse, which legend has it was born from the wind for its speed and resistance, jumps the globe (a sphere 3 meters in diameter), symbol of our planet, and takes with it in flight an Amazon clinging to the mane with only her hands. Fantastic tale or dream, this poetic sculpture stands out over the magnificent landscape of Montefeltro designed by man's crops. Calcagnini always emphasizes the bond with the earth and for this reason the horse is still invisibly anchored to the globe and acts as a conduit towards the infinite and the unknown, concentrating its gesture in the moment of the leap full of energy and pointing towards the North so as never to have the sun in its eyes.

Gianni Calcagnini's rooster sculpture was inaugurated in 2023 on the road from Urbino to Montefabbri. It is an iron work of land art, to create a large rooster that crows towards the sky. It symbolizes vitality, creativity and freedom.

Gianni Calcagnini's horse sculpture is called "Thought is faster than action" and was created in 2012 on the Urbino Resort estate. It is an iron work of land art, and represents a giant steed jumping over a sphere, symbol of the Earth.

The Borgo di Montecalvo in Foglia has an enviable position overlooking the neighboring Romagna and the Marche Apennines. Contended between the Malatesta and Montefeltro families, in 1460 it definitively passed to the latter, becoming a permanent part of the duchy of Urbino, whose fate it followed until its devolution to the Holy See (1631).

The hamlet of Castel Cavallino is located north-west of Urbino, about halfway between Gadana and Schieti. It is located on the top of a hill from which you can see the Foglia valley below and all the surrounding hills. The central nucleus of the town consists of an ancient fortified village, built in that place due to its strategic position. Worth visiting is the Pieve di San Cassiano, an ancient Romanesque parish church not far from the hamlet.
