"The chapel erected on the peak which was always called Monte San Francesco, at 1203 m, recalls the hermit's place where Saint Francis lived, under a cloth stretched and tied to four hornbeams, before the foundation of the convent of Greccio. In 1713, Clemente XI wanted to build a chapel in memory. From up there, the view is beautiful: from the left you can see the pink Mount Vettore, then the Reatini mountains, up to the Velino group".

This chapel is a perfect spot to take a break and enjoy the view. It consists of two rooms, a small church and a refuge area, managed by the local mountain community. Both are always open and offer excellent shelter on rainy autumn and winter days.

Monte Pizzuto, with its 1288 metres, is the second peak of the Monti Sabini after the nearby Monte Tancia. Unlike the latter, it enjoys a much wider panoramic view. On one side on the Tiber Valley and Mount Soratte and on the other on the Central Apennines with the clearly visible massifs of Terminillo and Gran Sasso.

It is not the official summit but it is the most beautiful panoramic point of the small Tancia complex. From here the view spans 360° from the Gran San Sasso to the Lazio coast.

On the horizon, the Terminillo mountain group which, with its 2,217 m a.s.l. it is one of the most famous symbols of Sabina. Mountain much appreciated both in terms of skiing by the inhabitants of the surrounding areas and for the cycling routes it offers.
