The Lombards settled on this easily defended rocky ridge high above the Castellano river. The necropolis left by the Germans is truly special and is one of the greatest finds of the early Middle Ages. Later, the monastery played an important role and gave the economy a new boost, until it came under the administration of the city of Ascoli between the 12th and 14th centuries. The high rocky ridge gives the place a special character. The village is accessed through the only remaining gate and is characterized by a series of narrow streets that connect the various squares until they meet at the church of San Lorenzo with its bell tower. Every space has been skilfully used by the various houses that have arisen over the centuries. They are anchored in the rocks and lean against each other. This has created several breathtaking views in the few gaps between the houses, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding panorama.

Beautifully situated church, just outside the hamlet of Colle, in the hills above Ascoli Piceno. There is a spacious picnic area. Next to it is a beautifully restored 'caciara', a (shelter) hut built from loose stones, where cheeses could also be stored temporarily.

One of the most beautiful asphalt climbs in the area, the one towards Colle San Giacomo was also tackled by the Giro d'Italia: the last time in 2021, when Gino Mader won here. Here you are at about 1,100 meters, near the ski resort of Monte Piselli.
