Discover Sant'egidio: Church, Mills and Local Traditions

A trip to Sant'egidio can combine culture, a connection to the landscape and local traditions.

Church and Mills in Sant'Egidio

The Chiesa di Sant'Egidio is a church affiliated with a parish and associated with the address Strada Provinciale 77, 30 in Montecassiano. In the village of Sant'Egidio di Montecassiano lies the Mulino di S. Egidio, an ancient rural watermill. The former Molino Serpilli in the same village dates back to the 14th century. These three references each emphasize different aspects: the church represents the parish connection, while the mills represent rural and historical local features. Those who consider churches and rural technological history together move between the parish connection and the mill tradition in Sant'Egidio.

Torre di Sant'Egidio on the Potenza

The Torre di Sant'Egidio adds a river and transport dimension to the historical picture. It was intended to control the Potenza River and the historic route of today's provincial road connecting San Severino with Porto Recanati. The tower is located near the left bank of the Potenza River and preserves a partially underground, battered foundation as well as two cornice bands. At the tower, attention focuses on the connection between the river landscape, the transport route and the preserved structural elements. For you, the combination of the river connection, transport route and architectural features makes the historical character of this subject tangible.

The Monumento all'aviatore

The Monumento all'aviatore commemorates the sacrifice of an aviator and was erected by the residents of Sant'Egidio di Montecassiano. It features a bronze eagle above a brick wayside shrine containing an image of Our Lady of Loreto. The shrine stands on a symbolic rock. Visitors interested in culture can view the bronze eagle, the wayside shrine and the image of Our Lady of Loreto as separate visual motifs.

Festa della Solidarietà and Communal Dining

The Festa della Solidarietà at the Circolo ACLI di Sant'Egidio is regarded as an annual community day that brings together associations, volunteers and friends. It includes a traditional communal lunch prepared by volunteers from the Circolo. Alongside its association-related character, the communal lunch gives the festival its own culinary focus during a stay in Sant'Egidio. The 23rd edition was announced for June 1 at the Circolo ACLI di Sant'Egidio. In addition to buildings and the connection to the landscape, a social and culinary tradition therefore takes center stage.
