The picturesque town of Tivoli has rightly been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Everywhere you look, you'll find beautiful corners and small alleys bathed in the glorious light of the evening sun.

Traveling along the path of San Benedetto by bike and coming from Rieti, after the climb you find this crossroads. You must take a left for the beautiful village of Rocca Sinibalda.

Beautiful village with an abbey that is worth a visit. From Fara Sabina there is a very long singletrack that is very fun to do only by MTB

San ROCCO was chosen as the patron saint for this church and the corresponding parish. Saint Roch was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of Roch's depiction in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day. The memorial day of San Rocco in the calendar of saints is August 16th.
