Montemonaco


Montemonaco is a town and comune in Marche region, located about north-east from Rome. It is located within Sibillini Mountains, along Aso valley, on a plateau facing the Mount Zampa and Mount Sibilla. Nearby are located Mount Vector and the Pilatus Lake.
Slightly involved in recent earthquakes, Montemonaco takes its name from a Benedictine monastery founded here around the 8th century.
