Start of the Monte Matto Trail from Montebello

Highlight • Trail

Yes but damn it report that at point A the Marecchia cannot be crossed Ostia. Both at point A and even after half the journey it was impossible to cross to the other side of the river. Furthermore it was dangerous for various reasons.

Montebello Fortress of Torriana

Highlight • Castle

In the hinterland of Rimini, the fortress of Montebello di Torriana elegantly dominates the Marecchia and Uso valley, from a height of 436 metres: the fascinating journey through history, art and nature is made even more mysterious and magical due to the legendary presence of Azzurrina, or Guendalina, with completely white hair. The little girl was albino and for this reason, due to her appearance, she was kept hidden inside the castle to protect her from accusations of witchcraft.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Saiano

Highlight • Religious Site

The sanctuary stands on a rocky spur (260 m) on the left bank of the Marecchia river, in a strategic position between Montebello, Pietracuta, Verucchio and San Marino.
Its name takes us back to the ancient Romans who called it “Saxum Jani- Sasso di Giano” and there probably must have been a pagan temple dedicated to him.
....
His name appears frequently among the lists of Castles that passed from one lord to another.
...
The presence of the castle of Saiano is confirmed in a document from 1186.
...
In 1356 there is talk of a sacred place where the Madonna called Saiano is kept, venerated and celebrated every year.
...
Inside the Church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, there is a plaster statue of the Madonna (16th century) placed on the main altar with the child sitting on her knees, almost in the act of wanting to separate from his mother to come to us his brothers.
Tradition says that when the Madonna was transferred to the little church of Montebello, miraculously several times in the morning she was found in Saiano.
