The curious and fascinating fortress known as Maioletto is easy to spot from even the most isolated part of the valley. It stands on a “raft” of rock that separates it from the land below.
The current village however is not visible as it is located nearby, in a place called Serra; it replaced and inherited the name of the ancient castle destroyed one night in the 18th century under a terrible landslide. This was preceded by 40 hours of uninterrupted rain.
The town retains its hamlets, old farmhouses and small squares. The beauty of the sunsets, the view that sweeps from Mount Fumaiolo to the Alpe della Luna, to Mount Carpegna, to the towers of San Leo, to the towers of San Marino all the way to the sea, make it a unique vantage point in the Montefeltro area.
Characteristic and much appreciated is its bread, made with local flours and traditional methods, to which it pays tribute at the end of June with an annual festival, the Bread Festival.
In particular, dedicated to bread, there is a widespread museum consisting of about 50 ovens scattered throughout the territory dating back to the early 19th century, about 10 of which are active and functioning for ancient and traditional bread-making, witnesses to the local peasant culture.
