Path of Francis and Beech of St. Francis Within the municipality, the main place linked to the passage of St. Francis of Assisi, is a majestic beech tree of extraordinary shape and size, called "beech of St. Francis". The tree, now centuries old, is located in a forest located on the slopes of Mount Fausola (near the hamlet cepparo) and is counted among the natural monuments of the Lazio region.[6] Its particular physiognomy is caused by a very rare genetic mutation,to date found only in two other specimens throughout the planet.
