The 43rd parallel of the northern hemisphere is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface that crosses the Municipality of Grottammare along its path. At the exact point where it runs, along the cycle path that connects Grottammare to Cupra Marittima, the Dream Point 43rd parallel was inaugurated on May 5, 2012, consisting of a sculptural group of Ascoli travertine and white Abruzzo stone, created by the master Francesco Santori. The work, symbolizing the terrestrial globe, with a large "G" in the center, also represents the four Sanctuaries crossed by the Parallel (Santiago de Compostela, Lourdes, Assisi and Medjugorje). https://fondoambiente.it/luoghi/43°-parallelo?ldc

Giuseppe Sacconi was an Italian architect and politician. He was best known as the designer of the Vittoriano or “Altare della Patria” in Rome and became one of the symbolic artists of the culture of Italy after the unification. Piazza Giuseppe Sacconi houses, in addition to a panoramic terrace, the symbol of the city of San Benedetto del Tronto, namely the Torre dei Gualtieri. The so-called Torrione was, throughout the centuries, the only point of reference for sailors on the open sea. And today it is the undisputed highlight of the city's history. Behind the Torrione stands the graceful Art Nouveau building, the seat of the bishopric. And a little further on stands the very important church of San Benedetto Martire. Continuing from Piazza Giuseppe Sacconi, you arrive at Palazzo Piacentini, home of the dialect poet Bice Piacentini Rinaldi. Today it is the seat of the Municipal Historical Archive. Piazza Sacconi, in the heart of the old city center, therefore offers a showpiece with a historical and artistic touch.

There is little biographical information about the patron saint of S. Benedetto al Tronto. S. Benedetto may have been a soldier, perhaps of Friulian origins, as some historians say, of the imperial army stationed in Cupra, who converted to Christianity during his military service and was martyred on the bridge over the Menocchia stream near the ancient Civita di Cupra. It was October 13, 304, when Diocletian was emperor. After the martyrdom, the local Christians took care of the martyr's burial, building a hidden tomb, almost a catacomb that could be accessed without being seen by the pagans. A tombstone was built on the martyr's tomb, which is still partly preserved today and, after the edict of Constantine, a shrine was built and later a parish church that later became the abbey church. The church has a single nave. In addition to the main altar, there are six other altars, three on the right and three on the left.
