Fumone. The Old Rivellino

Rivellino is the ancient path that in the past was the only fortified route to access the castle of Fumone.

The path starts from Volubro pond at the foot of Mount Fumone and comes to the top through the steep slopes.

Along the way you will find the small church of the Madonna degli Angeli, which was an ancient sighting point, and the ancient church of Santa Croce, now a private residence.

The track also goes down to the ancient Hospital of Saint Anthony which was the point of refreshment and lodging for the poor and the travellers to Fumone.

There are also some very short stretches of polygonal walls in first-order.
