"The structure was completely renovated in 2015 and still needs some works to be fully usable. The "return to use" project plans to equip the building with what is necessary to make the reception of 8- 10 people. A large fireplace, located in the kitchen-dining room, and a "burn-all" type stove will allow you to stay there even in the cold season.".

The meadows and houses of Cottanello have been used for centuries by shepherds who moved from Sabina to Rieti. Due to their importance, they have been registered in the National Catalog of Rural Landscapes. The large grassy clearing in which the now abandoned village stands is still today a pasture for cows, horses, sheep and pigs reared in the wild. This is a place of silence and peace where local people often come to organize picnics or observe the stars at night.

It seems that San Cataldo has never actually passed through these places. Yet the legends about the saint are not lacking. It is said that the rock that leads from the hermitage to the valley floor is full of hollows and fissures, marks of the elbows and feet of the saint who went to the stream every day to wash himself. Legends aside, the hermitage is a wonderful example of the union between human architecture and nature. The interior of the chapel and its ancient Byzantine fresco can be visited only during FAI days.

Rocchette is a fraction of Torri in Sabina in the province of Rieti. It originates from the two fortified medieval settlements that were consolidated in the 13th century to control the road that connected Rieti to the Tiber valley and Rome.

This small abandoned village rises among the wide and green clearings. The houses are still clearly visible and passing by one cannot help but think of the life that flowed between these mountains.

Listed among the natural monuments of the Lazio region, the Hermitage of San Cataldo is a small sanctuary carved into the granite rock of the mountains. If the exterior appears very impressive, the interior with its large frescoes is no exception.

A beautiful abandoned village.

Just walking by is spectacular
