コスタッチャーロのおすすめツーリングルート

Sigillo is a small Umbrian village at the foot of Mount Cucco. In June, you can witness the characteristic Infiortata, an event in which local artists (and others) create magnificent paintings with flower petals along the village streets.

The Fonte Avellana Monastery has 1000 years of history, Dante also wrote about it in the XXI canto of Paradise, and you can breathe the spirituality of the monks' activity and the surrounding nature. I recommend staying, to enjoy it in the evening and in the morning when there are no tourists.

Very nice route even if the climb is a bit steep, be careful on the descent though, as it is very steep and there are rocks where you risk slipping, also always be careful on the downhill part because it is not well signposted

In his text, Stefano Aimar briefly mentions Dante and his "Divine Comedy". Not everyone will be familiar with this. A short film (in German) by and with Tilman Spengler as part of the ARD series "Classics of World Literature" presents the life and, as an outstanding work, the "Divina Commedia" of DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265 to 1321). The Florentine native died and was buried in Ravenna. Let us hope that he has actually arrived in heaven - like his literary alter ego - and that he has found his dearly beloved Beatrice there. Anyone who would like to find out more in the ARD media library (the German-language film only lasts a quarter of an hour) just needs to follow the link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/dante-alighieri/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2E0YmE3OWQzLTk2NjAtNGUyYS04OTBlLTY2N2E5YmJjNGZlNw

Beautiful view of the Fonte Avellana Monastery.

The monastery is on the slopes of Monte Catria, the place is also used as a starting point for excursions.

The hike was beautiful, many nice views. You need to be a bit fit, some long uphill parts are tough. We did not find any track for the left turn at point 3, but it was ok to continue a bit and then turn uphill. For the last part we went up to the road much earlier than in the track guide, which we thought was great

Scheggia is a border town, and has always been, since the times of the Ancient Romans. Its charm lies in the testimonies of that era that can still be visited: the Abbey of Santa Maria di Sitria and the Hermitage of San Girolamo. Nearby is also the suggestive Scheggia pass: an Apennine passage located at 632 meters above sea level.
