At about 750 meters above sea level, this pass is located, not too far from the summit of Mount d'Aria. Proceeding south along the road to Camerino, there was once the Beregna tower, built in 1382 by Giovanni da Varano as part of the fortification between Camerino and Matelica. The tower, already in disuse at the end of the 17th century, finally collapsed in the 1970s following some seismic shocks.
