The village of Rigatti has medieval origins, having probably been built in the 12th century. Its history is closely linked to the parish church of Santa Maria in Rivogatti, dating back to 1153, around which the settlement developed. Over the centuries, Rigatti has been part of various domains: • Papal State • Kingdom of Naples (in some periods) • Fiefdom of the Mareri family for a long time. The village has had a strategic role, with its castle in visual communication with other military structures in the area, such as the castles of Girgenti and Marcetelli. the baronial palace of Rigatti, originally a medieval castle from the 12th century, was transformed into a noble residence during the Renaissance. It has a characteristic trapezoidal shape and a central keep tower, today it is the Caprioli house and houses a painting depicting the Mareri family coat of arms.

Rocca Sinibalda dominates the lush Turano Valley from above, the second most important river in Sabina after the Velino. The village is dominated by a castle founded around 1060. It was rebuilt as a fortress and noble residence in the 1630s by Cardinal Alessandro Cesarini who hired the famous Sienese architect Baldassarre Peruzzi for the occasion. It can only be visited on certain days. It is therefore advisable to inform yourself before departure.

The Castle of Rocca Sinibalda, located in the province of Rieti, has a rich and fascinating history. Its construction dates back to the 10th century and was built to defend the surrounding area and control the territory. Over the centuries, the castle passed between various noble families, including the Savellis, the Orsinis and the Sinibaldis, from which it takes its name.

Whichever side you arrive at, the climb remains pleasant, I prefer the two sides that rise from Vallinfreda, both passing through Vivaro Romano and Riofreddo
