The Nera River Valley is a narrow canyon until Ferentillo, where the valley floor widens out into a plain. The town is formed by two sections – Matterella and Precetto – perched on the rough slopes of the Monte Gabbio and Monte Sant’Angelo mountains over the Nera valley, once surveillance and defensive outposts. For those who are passionate about art, the 16th century church of Santo Stefano in Precetto (the crypt here holds the local mummy museum) and the Pieve di Santa Maria in Matterella, dating from 1494, are worth a visit.
