The woods around Visso have always been populated by wolves. Seeing them is really difficult, but on the path you can find several traces that indicate their presence. Hairs, paws and footprints remind us that we are not the only predatory mammals in the wild.

In Casali dell'Acquaro you walk on a wide dirt road inside a valley. The path is uncovered and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding wooded slopes. In spring the flowery field is a spectacle of colours.

The small medieval village of Visso was seriously damaged by the 2016 earthquake. The historic center is a red zone, so it is also forbidden to pass on foot. From the outside you can still admire the beauty of the medieval architecture typical of this part of Marche.

Casale Piscini is a refuge located in the Monte Torricchio Nature Reserve, at an altitude of 1126 metres. It was originally built as a shelter for shepherds during the summer pasture period, from 1970 onwards it was used by the University of Camerino as a base for research and management of the reserve.

Entrance to the Monte Torricchio Nature Reserve is a protected area between the municipalities of Monte Cavallo and Pieve Torina. Established in 1977, it has an area of 317 hectares and is managed by the University of Camerino. It hosts a rich flora and fauna, including rare and endemic species, and diverse habitats, such as beech woods, meadows and pastures.

The history of Visso is linked to the Nera river. If in fact the first inhabited nucleus was located on the slopes of Colle di San Giovanni, later the population decided to move downstream to make better use of the river's waters. Unfortunately the 2016 earthquake destroyed or made most of the town uninhabitable. Few people have had the good fortune to be able to return to their homes and many have decided to move into the prefabs at the entrance to the town.
