Tips from the Community
Piobbico is a beautiful town in the province of Pesaro Urbino with about 1800 inhabitants. It is located in a valley between Monte Nerone and Monte Montiego and stands right at the confluence of two rivers: the Biscubio and the Candigliano. Piobbico is also known as the Land of the Ugly, due to the National Association of the Ugly, founded at the end of the 19th century to allow young women from Piobbico to find a husband; it currently has about 30,000 members and every year, on the first Sunday of September, the World Festival of the Ugly takes place. The festival is famous throughout central Italy and attracts a very large number of people each year.

Monte Ruperto is a hamlet within the municipality of Città di Castello (Perugia), which is itself an enclave in the Marche region, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino. The hamlet is 30 km from the municipal capital of Città di Castello. It is located between the municipalities of Apecchio and Sant'Angelo in Vado. One of the barons of Monte Ruperto, who ruled the small town, asked for help during a famine caused by heavy snowfall, and only Città di Castello responded positively, sending several mules loaded with provisions. The baron, mindful of the gesture of the municipality of Città di Castello, decided to donate his territory to Città di Castello, along with the right for the gonfalonieri, who corresponded to the current mayors, to be able to use the title of baron during the period in which they govern the city.

Leaving the beautiful dirt road of the trail, state-owned forests, you cross the asphalt road (municipal/provincial) that connects Apecchio to Sant'Angelo in Vado in the San Martino del Piano area... After following this for a few hundred meters towards Sant'Angelo in Vado (right), turn left and return to the dirt road that will take you a little higher up to the wind turbine park.
