1. ISTITUTO COMPRENSIVO DI GATTEO

2. THIS IS OUR TOWN: GATTEO

3. Our itinerary can start from Piazza Vesi, where the Municipal Palace is located.

4. The tour continues as far as Piazza Fracassi-Poggi and its San Lorenzo Parish Church which is also the core of the town; here you can admire the paintings by Montanari, who was born in Gatteo in the second half of 17th century and, later, moved to Rome to improve his artistic technique.

5. In front of the main square you can see the Malatesta Castle and appreciate its two bastions, the entrance tower and the town walls.

6. The route takes you to the Oratory of San Rocco, a valuable example of sacred architecture. Thanks to its charming features, it is intended for classical music concerts. The entrance hall to this church, which is finely decorated with holy frescoes, is really worthwhile.

7. Walking on, you can catch a lovely view of the church, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, that belongs to Istituto Don Ghinelli. In spite of the damages during the Second World War, the church preserves the ancient bell tower of Sant'Antonio Abate which is still whole.

8. Gatteo has got a lovely village on the beach…..Gatteo Mare

9. Sant'Angelo is the largest district both from a demographic viewpoint and an industrial one. A village (already cited in 1070 as 'Plebem S.Angeli in Salute') that after centuries of poverty and hardship has become a prosperous and industrious locality with a lively trade.
