Arrone takes its name from its founder, a Roman nobleman who settled in this area in the 9th century AD, building a wooden castle around which a village slowly grew. The current appearance is the medieval one still dominated by the castle, now in masonry, which stands at the top of the hill. Arrone is included in the list of the "Most beautiful villages in Italy" and is located within the Nera river park. The municipal area is suitable for various sporting activities such as cycling, hiking, rafting and rock climbing. Don't miss the local specialty: river prawn broth and trout fillet.

The sanctuary of Santa Maria della Foresta is one of the four sanctuaries that celebrate the passage of San Francesco in the Reatina valley. According to some, it was precisely here that the Saint composed the Canticle of the Creatures. In this place there originally stood a small church dedicated to San Fabiano flanked by the priest's house alone. Legend has it that, during the period in which Saint Francis stayed here, many people from Rieti went to visit him, often picking bunches of grapes from the priest's vineyard. When it was time to collect the fruits for the harvest, the priest realized that there was very little left, nevertheless, encouraged by Saint Francis, he collected and harvested what little there was, however obtaining much more wine than in previous years. Of this episode, remembered as the "miracle of wine", traces can still be found inside the sanctuary: in fact, inside the domus there are the remains of a tank for pressing wine dating back to the period of the Saint's life.
