Churches and museums in Serrapetrona

The Church of San Francesco was built by the Friars Minor in the 14th century. Its presbytery houses the large polyptych by Lorenzo d’Alessandro from Sanseverino, commissioned by the Friars Minor between 1494 and 1496. The church is open on Sunday mornings and public holidays; on other days, visits are possible by appointment with the municipality at +39 0733 908 321.

The Church of Santa Maria di Piazza reopened in November 2018 after being closed for 21 years. Today, it houses 26 works of art rescued from other churches in the area damaged by the earthquake. It can be visited on Sundays and public holidays from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; reservations are required on other days.

The Museo dell’Uomo is housed in a 12th-century tower and displays agricultural equipment, millstones and traditional tools that tell the story of everyday life before industrialisation. Following the 2016 earthquake, the museum is temporarily closed. The Vecchio Mulino del Borgo was formerly used to mill grain and has been converted into a Centro Turistico Culturale. The Museo dell’Olio located there displays historic equipment and machinery from the early 20th century in an original setting with a brick floor and contemporary everyday objects.

Landscape, lake and routes

Monte d’Aria offers panoramic views from the Camerino basin across the Monti Sibillini and, on clear days, as far as the sea. The mountain thus provides a striking landscape contrast to Serrapetrona’s churches and collections.

Lago di Caccamo is used mainly for fishing and is also suitable for rowing. Sailing regattas and rowing competitions take place there at weekends and in summer. For a different daily rhythm, the “Attraverso i vigneti” route ends in the medieval centre of Serrapetrona.

Wine and local insights

During Appassimenti Aperti, wineries open their doors, producers explain their work, and you can discover a traditional practice: some of the grapes are laid out to dry for several weeks before being made into wine. Tastings take place in the square and at the wineries. Tasting glasses with sampling vouchers are available on site.
