If you are looking for a cool place to escape the summer heat, the Forcella waterfalls are your refuge! I'm right next to Acquasanta Terme, just 14 kilometers from Ascoli Piceno. It is the paradise to relax and have a good swim. Near the Mulino Pompili, surrounded by dense greenery, you will find a crystalline natural pool. And look at the show: the stream creates waterfalls and postcard landscapes along its course!

Monestino, once a fraction of the municipality of Rocca Casaregnana, today is a set of a few ruins immersed in the vegetation. Its history is a fascinating piece of the medieval history of the Marches. The first traces identify it as a "monastery", a term that suggests an origin linked to a religious community. It is mentioned in the Ascoli land registers of 1381 alongside Vetoli, both part of a union. Over the centuries, Monestino experienced depopulation and territorial changes, culminating in the annexation to Rocca Casaregnana and then to Roccafluvione after the unification of Italy. Today, you can still see the traces of the houses half-buried in the vegetation, as well as the remains of a farmhouse that reveal the various architectural interventions that have taken place over time. A still active spring flows in front of the decaying building, and the road, going up, leads to the top of the village, where the interlocking between nature and architecture creates a suggestive atmosphere.
