Benedictine Abbey of San Vincenzo
Highlight • Religious Site
The monastery was built on the left bank of the Candigliano river, along the Via Flaminia, near the Furlo gorge, where the city of Pitinum Mergens stood, a Roman municipality, abandoned in late ancient times [1].
Its prosperity was linked to the pious offers of travelers who crossed the Furlo gorge. It housed the relics of the bishop of Bevagna San Vincenzo, martyr in 303, after Bevagna had been destroyed by the Lombards in the sixth century. The first mention of the abbey dates back to a document of 970, which recalls the sale of the relics of St. Vincent to Deodoric, bishop of Metz.
The monastery hosted St. Romuald of Camaldoli in 1011 and St. Pier Damiani in 1042-1043, who was appointed abbot there and wrote the Vita beati Romualdi.
In 1246 it was damaged by a fire during a territorial dispute with Cagli, but it was rebuilt in 1271, as evidenced by the inscription on the architrave of the entrance portal to the church. The abbey was involved in the Western schism (1378-1417), when its abbot, Nicolò de Baratoli da Spoleto, was forced to abandon the monastery by the bishop of Urbino. In 1439 Pope Eugene IV decided to incorporate it into the chapter table of the diocese of Urbino. In 1589 the convent, abandoned by the monks, became the chaplain's residence.

Furlo Gorge (Gola del Furlo)

The establishment of the Reserve represents a recognition of the environmental and naturalistic peculiarities of the area, which entails the advantage of offering the territory greater opportunities for protection and safeguarding, for example rehabilitation and restoration interventions, in a unified program, which will allow to make better enjoyable this paradise of our province has always been preserved and supervised by the local population. In short, the Reserve not only gives economic advantages to enhance the whole area (from flora, fauna, to rural buildings), but also a unitary design and greater controls for its protection and making it accessible to all.
The Reserve is an authentic paradise, crossed by the Candigliano river which insinuates itself between the imposing rocky walls of the magnificent Gola del Furlo, where the suggestion of the landscape is combined with a prodigious natural wealth that boasts truly unique specimens of flora and fauna. This territory has an extraordinary importance from the landscape, geological, geomorphological, paleontological, floristic and faunistic point of view.
