Rotella. Hermitage of San Francesco
In the territory of Poggio Canoso, along the road from Rotella to the Ascension mountain, there is an ancient convent, one of the first Franciscan hermitages built in the region. Tradition has it that it was San Francesco himself, perhaps bringing back everything that was already existing Benedictine, to choose the place that would host his convent and remain there for a night. The convent of Poggio Canoso was suppressed on 18 December 1653. After the uncertainties about its use, the convent finally received the attention it deserved and from 1989 to 2009 it was the seat of the "Meeting Community" of Don Pierino Gelmini. The boys, guests of the center, with precise and assiduous work, managed to restore the church, the cloister and all the ancient Franciscan structures to the splendors of the times of the conventual fathers.

Ascoli Piceno. The Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo
Overlooking Piazza del Popolo, it stands out for its elegant medieval crenellated tower next to the historic Meletti café. Built between the 13th and 14th centuries from the union of three small buildings separated by two rue, one of which was equipped with a tower which was later reused, it was remodeled following the fire that almost entirely destroyed the interior in 1535. The central portal, preceded by a staircase and surmounted by the monument to Paul III, the courtyard with three orders of loggias and the staircase, the latter built by Camillo Merli around 1550, date back to that period.
