산토메나 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

There is no cycle path, the route roughly follows the route of the aqueduct but the roads mostly cross open countryside where there is not a soul in sight.

Stunning panorama..among nature and podolic animals. Pure air...

Following the course of the water of the "Forma" it turns out to be the first mill. Quite detailed information on this mill is provided by the notarial deed of 10 June 1825 stipulated to put an end to the "various disputes" caused by the servitude to which the Monastery had been subjected by the owners of the Mill at the source. From this deed it is noted that this mill was built in the early 1800s but in a notarial deed dated 4 November 1802 of the sale of a vineyard at the Fonte, it reserves the right to modify the conditions of the same sale if a mill were built in the area. In the Provisional Land Registry the "alla Fonte" mill appears to belong to the heirs of Don Carlo De Laurentiis and partners. Donated by the heirs of Prof. Pasqualino Bellisario to the Municipality of S. Andrea, it was restored and returned to the community as evidence of the ancient past of the town. Currently used as a backdrop for cultural events. Sources: [1] https://santandreaconza.altervista.org/index.php/merav/mulini

Main square of the town, with its monumental fountain and stone lion

Fountain on the Arso and adjoining green space. Created by the Comunità Montana in the early 90s, today it is, unfortunately, in a state of total degradation and abandonment

It was the third in the Archbishop's canteen. It is the one that has been best preserved, but it seems to be about to collapse. It worked until the early 1950s of the century that has just ended. A photo of this mill is attached, taken in the 80s of the last century, in which you can also clearly see the tower of the "D'Angola" mill located just above. The so-called "dolce" was located near this mill, i.e. a squared stone (about one cubic metre) on which the peasants leaned while waiting to be able to divert the water downstream from the mill to the various districts (Forma, S. Antonio , Fiego). Until August 2002, this stone was located on the edge of the rest area adjacent to the ruins of the mill. In August 2005 it then disappeared.

The Malanga and Clemente furnace, located in via Monacacchio, has been in business since 1920. The building covers an area of around 1400 square meters and at full capacity it produced around 4000 pieces every year, mainly roof tiles and perforated bricks. In operation until 1982 it was equipped with a Hoffman oven (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forno_Hoffmann) buried with a chimney and used manual technologies that have now become rare. At the beginning of the 90s of the last century, a consolidation and recovery project transformed the furnace into a multifunctional center for cultural, recreational and social gathering activities.
