Highly recommended, watch out for cows with ticks and those that stand in front of the gate without moving

It's the first step that our parents took us since we were little. To go on the snow or in the summer to take a walk to Sasso Simone and Simoncello. Always green, fresh. Now I come there by bike and it's always a new discovery.

The Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna is a majestic 17th-century residence located in the heart of the town of Carpegna, in the Marche region. The construction of the palace began in 1674 at the behest of Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna, who wanted a more modern and comfortable residence than the old fortified fortress.

The interiors are spread over four levels with numerous rooms including the Throne Room and the reception rooms furnished with original period furniture, the library with ancient family documents, the stables, the mews and the kitchens with enormous wood-fired ovens. In August, the stables host the “Mostra dell’Artigianato Artistico del Montefeltro”. Next to the palace you can admire a fountain made from an ancient tomb.

In the center of the town stands the imposing Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna Falconieri, designed by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio De' Rossi for Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna. The palace, begun in 1675 and completed after over twenty years, is inspired by the fortified villas of Florentine origin and the large noble residences of the Roman countryside. It is still inhabited by the descendants of the thousand-year-old family and has remained almost intact after over 300 years, a fire and some strong earthquakes (1781).

The town extends in length along the southern slopes of the mountain of the same name, at 748 m above sea level, and is a climatic station frequented in summer for its mild and dry climate. ... The name probably derives from the Latin silva carpinea, or "hornbeam forest". The hornbeam, both white and black, is in fact a very common tree in the woods of Carpegna.

The path that goes from Carpegna up to Sasso di Simone alternates wooded stretches with large panoramic clearings. This is one of the most beautiful points: from here the view extends towards the Adriatic Sea, passing through the hills of Emilia and Marche.

From this point you have a beautiful view of the rock face of Sasso di Simone. A few meters from here there is a picnic area and a bivouac, the perfect place to eat a sandwich while admiring the view!
