Ferentillo, placed at 252 metres above sea level, is situated along the Valnerina valley at 17 kilometres' distance from the city of Terni. The castle of Precetto on the left- hand side and the castle of Matterella on the right with their bastions still seem to protect the town which is to be found behind them, below the mountains of Sant'Angelo and Gabbio from which the castles rise up. The Abbey of San Pietro in Valle, dating back to the 9th century, with its noteworthy frescoes of the 12th and 013th centuries, absolutely should not be missed. Every year from 1918 onwards, during the last week of August, a show takes place in the town which recounts the history of Ferentillo with living tableaux which are to be found in the medieval part of the town. Ferentillo is also internationally famous for its Free Climbing. Its rock gymnasium can be used all around the year.
