피에트라루비아 최고의 러닝 경로

Perhaps, in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences by Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday last year, might be of interest (address of April 5, 2024): “Feel called (...) to carry into the Church and into the world a little of this immeasurable love that compelled Jesus to die for us on the cross. May the intimate closeness to Him, as it did for Francis [of Assisi], make you ever more humble, more united, more joyful, and more essential in your love for the cross and in your concern for the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this age of ours, which struggles so much to recognize the presence of the Lord.” (Pope Francis)

The Simone and Simoncello rocks, blocks of sandstone surrounded by a beautiful forest, slowly slid here from the Tyrrhenian Sea 130 million years ago on a sea of clay in the so-called gravitational flow of the Marecchia valley.

To rest a bit

Highly recommended, watch out for cows with ticks and those that stand in front of the gate without moving

very nice little village

The Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna is a majestic 17th-century residence located in the heart of the town of Carpegna, in the Marche region. The construction of the palace began in 1674 at the behest of Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna, who wanted a more modern and comfortable residence than the old fortified fortress.

The interiors are spread over four levels with numerous rooms including the Throne Room and the reception rooms furnished with original period furniture, the library with ancient family documents, the stables, the mews and the kitchens with enormous wood-fired ovens. In August, the stables host the “Mostra dell’Artigianato Artistico del Montefeltro”. Next to the palace you can admire a fountain made from an ancient tomb.

In the center of the town stands the imposing Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna Falconieri, designed by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio De' Rossi for Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna. The palace, begun in 1675 and completed after over twenty years, is inspired by the fortified villas of Florentine origin and the large noble residences of the Roman countryside. It is still inhabited by the descendants of the thousand-year-old family and has remained almost intact after over 300 years, a fire and some strong earthquakes (1781).
