As you leave the town of Poggio San Lorenzo you’ll come across its old Roman walls. Today’s route goes through a landscape of woods and hills, and then gradually gives way to groves of olive trees. It leads downhill to where the road to Monteleone Sabino crosses, and from here you can take a detour into town. Aside from the beauty of nature, the landscape is also graced by monumental oak trees. Further along is the archaeological site of Trebula Mutuesca and the beautiful Romanesque church of Santa Vittoria, home to catacombs and a well with healing water. The trail goes up and down through orchards, vineyards and olive groves as you head into the valley bottom along a path that leads to the church of San Martino and then the town of Poggio Moiano, perched on a hill. Walk through the town and admire the lovely Palazzo Baronale and the church of San Giovanni Batista, stop and rest, recharge your proverbial batteries for a bit. The route along this stretch offers wide panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and olive groves. Walk over the plains until you get to the slopes of Monte Calvo and soon you will be in the small town of Ponticelli di Scandriglia. Here you will find a lovely old Franciscan sanctuary known as Santa Maria delle Grazie.
