Passing through the small Porta Nuova, known as “La Porticella,” one enters a passage that leads to the staircase ascending toward the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. This gate, part of the ancient city walls, marks the beginning of a path that connects the history of Filottrano with its spirituality.

The staircase, surrounded by greenery and enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility, guides visitors to a place of peace and reflection, creating a natural link between the village and the church at the top, a symbol of faith and tradition.
