Il Casale degli Ulivi: location
According to the 18th-century historian Colucci, the district takes its name from the Benedictine abbey of San Giovanni de Salara, of medieval origin. The monastery stood along the ancient Roman consular road, under the patronage of the Sgariglia family, and for centuries played a religious, cultural and economic role throughout the Rosara area. From the house, the Adriatic coast is about 30 km away and the mountains about 33.

Il Casale degli Ulivi: what to see nearby
From the western side of the city you can reach Castel Trosino, a village built on top of a travertine outcrop above the Castellano valley. It was part of the defensive system of the county of Ascoli, together with Castel Manfrino, the Rocca di Montecalvo and the former convent of San Giorgio di Rosara. The village is entered from one side only, through a round arch, because the rest of the walls rise above a sheer drop. In 1893 a Lombard necropolis of about 260 burials, used until the middle of the 7th century, was discovered there by chance; today part of it can be visited.
