Your walk begins at the forecourt of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta (La Pieve), strategically located at Piazzale XI Febbraio 13, right in front of Porta Marina/Arco Perozzi. Starting from this church, which historically stood outside the city walls, is like crossing a threshold in time, leaving the civic heart behind to immerse yourself in a more ancient dimension.

Follow the walls and take Via San Cristoforo: in a few steps, you reach the Church of San Cristoforo (No. 19). This is one of the oldest churches in Filottrano and undoubtedly deserves a pause and a slow, contemplative look inside, where precious 15th-century frescoes are preserved.

Continuing straight on Via San Cristoforo, the itinerary turns onto Via Guglielmo Oberdan. Here, the scene begins to change, introducing the theme of remembrance: the Public Gardens (entrance at No. 1) open up, a green area inviting rest and reflection.

From this garden entrance, the final stage of the route unfolds: the white staircase leading up to the Monument to the Fallen. Today, this monument is located in the green area known as Giardini/Morigi, but its position near Via XXX Giugno evokes a solemn historical event: the massacre of June 30, 1944, also commemorated by a small marker in the gardens. Although the last stretch involves steps (creating an architectural barrier), the flat green area is still perfect for a contemplative pause, paying tribute to history in a place of serene remembrance.
