Apecchio 730: Farmhouse description

Share this page!

Location

Apecchio 730 has its name derived from the small church which is part of this historical building. The church itself dates back to at least the early 13th century. Ecclesiastical documents that were found, refer to San Paolo in Fagnille back as early as 1208.
It is believed the site was probably a Roman or Etruscan place of worship.

This seems to complement the story of the Etruscan bronze statue that was melted down and used to make the original bells at San Paolo (one of which is now on display in the local museum).
Additional sections were added on to the church over the centuries to give us what we now have as Apecchio 730. The building was at one time the centre of the local community and housed the school and its teacher along with the Church and its priest.

The surrounding area is called Fagnille which comes from the Italian word for sparks. Centuries ago these sparks would fill the air when the nearby medieval signalling tower at Montalto was blazing away. The tower has recently completed the first stage of restoration.

Agriturismo Apecchio 730 is situated in the northern most part of Marche (also called le Marche) in an area called Apecchio. The comune of Apecchio lies on Marches borders with Umbria and Tuscany.
Marche itself covers the upper central part of Italy, from the Apennine mountain ranges over to the adriatic coastal resorts of Pesaro, Fano, Senigallia and Conero (to name but a few).
