In Villa Verucchio, the church houses a precious fresco (Crucifixion), a masterpiece by the “fourteenth-century Rimini school” whose artists include the socalled “Maestro of Verucchio”. Outside is a patriarch tree, the oldest cypress in Europe, which is about 23 metres tall and according to legend, was planted by St. Francis while staying in the area.
