Casale/cascina in contrada rosciano, s.n.c, Tolentino

The cluster lies in the Chienti valley, with the Sibillini Mountains visible to the west and the first Apennine relief beginning within this radius. The Chienti river runs through the area. The nearest substantial town is Macerata, which has a university, a walled historic centre and the Sferisterio. Tolentino itself has the Basilica di San Nicola and the Castello della Rancia just outside the town. This part of inland Marche is known for mixed farmland, rolling foothills and small historic centres along the valleys leading up toward the Sibillini.
