Between the valleys of the Savio and Marecchia rivers on the border between Marche and Romagna there is Sant'Agata Feltria, a town of pre-Roman origins, founded by Umbrian tribes. The Rocca Fregoso has always dominated the country. The center of Sant'Agata is beautiful and well maintained with interesting itineraries such as that of the Fountains that also leads to the Fountain of the Snail, a very beautiful artistic work in mosaic created by Master Bravura.
The Angelo Mariani Theatre is also very beautiful, with its wooden structures it is the oldest theater in the Marche region. To visit it, just ask for information at the nearby Pro-Loco.

Beautiful in summer to visit the woods around foot or horse, even the other seasons have a lot to offer. On Sundays of October, the 'Fine White Truffle Fair' is held, a national fair.
The whole center is invaded by the characteristic scent of the mushroom, there is no corner without running into the stalls selling truffles and other delicacies in the area. An abundance of mushrooms, honey, medicinal plants, jams and cheese.

A rather well-known and particular local cheese is the cheese from the fossa di Sant'Agata. In the stories of the old inhabitants there was talk of the ancient habit of depositing cheeses in the pits, a tradition that had been lost in the last century, today put into practice.

The pits are prepared a few days before, burning straw inside to eliminate insects and bacteria, then the inside of the pits is covered with a layer of straw and wooden boards. .
Cheese forms in bags are crammed on the boards until the pit is filled, then with wooden lids the cheese load is closed inside and the cracks sealed with chalk. After 100 days of waiting, the pits are reopened and the cheeses extracted, cleaned and prepared for sale.
