The statue does not depict Padre Pio, but rather Saint Folco Pellegrino, the town's patron saint. Saint Folco was an English hermit who lived in the 7th century. He arrived in Italy and lived in the area surrounding Santopadre, so much so that the town owes its current name to him: from "Castro Forolo" to "Santopadre," as a sign of devotion. The statue depicts Saint Folco in religious robes, with a welcoming and blessing attitude, right in the town's scenic square. Saint Folco is venerated on May 22nd and is central to the local community, which also houses his relics in the parish church. The statue commemorates his memory and protection, and is a place of prayer and tribute from the residents, as evidenced by the flowers that often adorn it. The square is an excellent vantage point for observing the Melfa Valley and the surrounding Mainarde mountains.

Beautiful road closed to traffic that follows the Melfa gorges along the path of San Benedetto

Very nice and rideable

A pious wish. In truth, one can be happy not to be run over. Very ruthless drivers in every respect

Adorable, slight slope excellent even in the opposite direction uphill

Spectacular route immersed in silence. The Melfa Gorges are a unique place, to be explored at a slow pace and enjoyed to the full.

Beautiful sign for attention to cyclists

The famous Gabriele D'Annunzio was also hosted in the elegant residence. In 1928 the Castel Sindici estate was declared an "Area of National Artistic Interest". In the cellars, "Castel Sindici" wine was produced, sold in Italy and abroad, winner of eight gold medals. This wine was much appreciated, so much so that it was mentioned among the fine wines of Lazio in the first edition of 1931 of the "Gastronomic Guide of Italy" of the Italian Touring Club and to be exhibited among the wines of the Italian pavilion of the 1935 World Expo in Brussels. .
