LA STORIA
[one_half align=”justify”]The estate lies by the Church of San Cassiano in Valbagnola, in the municipality of Fabriano.The first document which testifies the existence of the Church goes back to 1119 while other documents of later date narrate that in 1455 Pope Callisto III included the Church in the parish of San Nicolò in Fabriano. The building is structured and decorated following the Romanic architectural style, whose best examples can be found in the crypt and in the apse. The latter present a unique architectural space definition, which attracts the interest of many artists, architects and historians.[/one_half_last]
