Holiday apartment in Rio Salso-Case Bernardi: River Paths, History and Flavours

Rio Salso-Case Bernardi is ideal for planning a trip that brings together riverside paths, cultural history, nature observation and regional specialities.

River paths and connections for cyclists

The Ciclovia del Foglia includes a cycle and pedestrian bridge over the Rio Salso on the boundary between the municipalities of Tavullia and Montecalvo in Foglia. At Case Bernardi and Rio Salso, the cycle route connects to existing cycle paths along the Foglia River. A path from San Martino in Foglia runs along the river and passes an old mill; a sulphur-water spring lies along this route.

Gorge, old road and different types of excursions

The gorge known as Foss del gnocc in the valley of the Torrente Molinacci can be walked from Rio Salso uphill to Mondaino; the valley between the hills is also considered an example of nature recolonising a place once shaped by human activity. The old road from Case Bernardi to Padiglione can be travelled by bicycle or on horseback. If your travel group has different interests, this allows you to choose between a walk, a bike ride and a horseback excursion.

San Martino in Foglia and traces of history

In Rio Salso, you can view the exterior of the house where the writer Fabio Tombari spent a large part of his life. In San Martino in Foglia, the private chapel stands on the Pacassoni family's green estate; its origins date back to the 13th century. Beside the altar is a canvas attributed to one of Caravaggio's pupils, and fragments of a fresco have also been preserved. Roman remains lie on the banks of the Foglia near Rio Salso; the entire riverside area is considered an archaeological site. Rio Salso is home to the Tiro a volo San Martino sports and leisure centre. On Ascension Day, the third Sunday in May, a Mass is celebrated in San Martino in Foglia, attended by many local residents.

Regional specialities and a distinctive local detail

Agririo salami is produced on the farm in Rio Salso or in the immediate vicinity, matured for 70 to 90 days and coated with beeswax for preservation. At the Agriturismo Agririo in Rio Salso, you can taste this salami preserved in beeswax. A Casetta dell’Acqua was inaugurated on Via Tagliamento in Rio Salso, offering still, chilled and sparkling water.
