Roadside clearing where you can stop to admire the panorama

In addition to the magnificent cypress tree, which has withstood fires and the elements over time, it's also lovely to take a break in the alcove where the nativity scene is set up. The perfect place to rest your mind from the chaos of everyday life.

A really great café up on the main square with a very nice boss and very tasty cakes

Beautiful monastery with a great garden!

Very worth seeing castle with a historical story!

Very nice older place with small streets...

The centenary cypress of San Francesco in Villa Verrucchio It is said that Saint Francis, during his trip to the province of Rimini in the 13th century, planted the "bordone" that supported him during the journey into the ground. This stick took root in a miraculous way, giving life to a cypress that would remain in history. A tree that has faced not only atmospheric events, but also life-threatening situations created by men, particularly in the Napoleonic period of 1800, the army that entered the convent received orders to cut down the tree and while they attempted to burn it, a messenger arrived with a counter-order not to shoot it down again. Furthermore, during the last world war the Germans burned part of it to keep warm and in 1980 the main peak, 10 meters higher, collapsed due to bad weather. According to the Franciscan friars, this tree, which excites everyone with its beauty and majesty, is the symbol of the idea that God is a strong support like the staff that supported Saint Francis. The cypress, weakened by age and the various fire attempts it has received, stands upright thanks to some slightly rusty metal prostheses, but compared to its much younger counterparts, it seems to be in good health. It has been the subject of scientific studies that wanted to shed light on the secret of this plant's long life. This monumental cypress planted in 1213, according to tradition by Saint Francis, can be admired today in the cloister of the convent as a colossal 25 meter high vegetal monument which has "seen" 800 years of history flow around it. Who knows how many things he would have to tell... When you see it you are fascinated and amazed. It is one of the arboreal testimonies of nature's resistance virtues. Another wonder of Creation.

The S. Croce convent is considered the oldest Franciscan place in Emilia Romagna, sanctified by the presence of Saint Francis who stopped here several times to pray and praise the Lord. In the spring of 1213 Francis of Assisi with some companions went on foot from Rimini to S. Leo, where he received the gift of Mount La Verna. Arriving in a wooded place near Verucchio, he stopped for a time of prayer and built a shelter, right where the chapel dedicated to him now stands. Over the centuries the chapel was rebuilt several times. The current one dates back to 1936 and was painted by Giuseppe Busuoli. An ancient tradition states that Francis would have planted in the ground the "bordon" that had supported him along the way. The stick took root and gave life to a cypress, which is now an extraordinary monument, admired by numerous pilgrims and tourists. The cypress is kept inside a simple and harmonious cloister that invites silence and reflection. Shortly after the death of St. Francis, his friars began to live in this place and have lived there continuously until today, with the exception of two short periods during the suppressions. For several centuries the convent was a novitiate and training house. The original small church, probably existing before the saint's passage, was enlarged several times by the friars and consecrated on 16 June 1400.
