The little church of Sant'Antonino Martire

This little church and the nearby territory are mentioned in a document of the 24th September 1077 and they are called ‘Monte Porculo'. In front of the entrance there is a little portico, covered with a deck. The interior consists of a nave and four side chapels. In the pastoral visit of Monsignor G. Battista Altieri, bishop of Camerino, it is specified that in the church there was only an altar consecrated to the Annunciation.

In an another pastoral visit it is mentioned the fresco representing San'Antonino Martire, that can be dated back to the 900, not very well preserved.
