The charterhouse is immersed in pristine nature. A good stop, even just to refill your water supply at the fountain in front of the charterhouse. On both the Veroli and Collepardo sides, there are many paved roads and trails, some of which are technical, for exploring the Ernici mountains.

The settlement's origins date back at least to Roman times: some scholars believe the name derives from the Latin "Forum Laeta" (beautiful market), indicating the presence of an ancient livestock market and its favorable location along the routes between the Liri and Comino Valleys. Forglieta was inhabited until the 1970s, when the last 80 or so residents moved to larger towns due to depopulation and the closure of services such as schools and shops. The village extends along three main streets, with stone houses, stables, cellars, and a small church (dedicated to Sant'Amasio), built on the ruins of a pagan temple. Today, many houses are in ruins, but some are still occasionally inhabited.

The statue does not depict Padre Pio, but rather Saint Folco Pellegrino, the town's patron saint. Saint Folco was an English hermit who lived in the 7th century. He arrived in Italy and lived in the area surrounding Santopadre, so much so that the town owes its current name to him: from "Castro Forolo" to "Santopadre," as a sign of devotion. The statue depicts Saint Folco in religious robes, with a welcoming and blessing attitude, right in the town's scenic square. Saint Folco is venerated on May 22nd and is central to the local community, which also houses his relics in the parish church. The statue commemorates his memory and protection, and is a place of prayer and tribute from the residents, as evidenced by the flowers that often adorn it. The square is an excellent vantage point for observing the Melfa Valley and the surrounding Mainarde mountains.
