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 Church of San Francesco
This church is considered one of the best Italian works of Franciscan architecture, as well as the most representative Franciscan religious building in the Marche region. It was begun with the adjoining convent in 1258, consecrated in 1371 and completed with the dome in the 16th century. On the main facade, in Via del Trivio, there are three Gothic portals, while the right side acts as a scenic backdrop to the Piazza del Popolo and is characterized by the dynamic fifteenth-century apses, the fourteenth-century side portal surmounted by the monument to Julius II of 1510 and ends with an apsidal group of rare architectural model.
