キエンティ川にかかる1200年代の趣のある橋

The Basilica of the Santissima Annunziata, or Basilica of Santa Maria a Piè di Chienti, is a parish church located in the municipality of Montecosaro, in the hamlet of Montecosaro Scalo, in the province of Macerata. It represents one of the masterpieces of Romanesque architecture in the Marche region, and owes its name to the Chienti River that flows nearby.

There is a very large car park, and a cycle/pedestrian path starts here.

Montecosaro

The term “ Rancia ” is probably a corruption of the word grancia , or granary , from the French grange, borrowed from the Latin granica. Built as a fortified farm in the mid-11th century, in the Rancia district, on the plain located to the left of the Chienti river, the Castello della Rancia was initially a sort of tower house with autonomous structures for the defense of agricultural products. Important dates to remember are May 2 and 3, 1815, days of the furious battle called “ della Rancia ” or “ Tolentino ” when the entire area became a battlefield between the French army of Gioacchino Murat, king of Naples and brother-in-law of Napoleon, and the Austrian troops of General Federico Bianchi. The importance of this event in the history of Italy is said to be considered the beginning of the Italian Risorgimento. It is currently owned by the Municipality of Tolentino and houses the Civic Archaeological Museum “Aristide Gentiloni Silverj”.

Legend has it that the bridge was built in just one night thanks to the help of the devil who in exchange wanted the soul of the first person to cross it.

I recommend going up to Pievefavera to enjoy a magnificent view
