Pietrarubbia

Overview

The village of Pietrarubbia, dominated by Mount Carpegna, is an ancient fortified centre where a castle once stood, of which only the ruins remain today, testimony to its function of defending and controlling the territory. During the Middle Ages, its territory was disputed between the Malatesta and Montefeltro families, to then belong to the Feltreschi family in the mid-1500s. Traces of the ancient past can also be found in the small church of Sant'Arduino, located in the town of the same name, and in the Convent of the Capuchins, founded in 1531, where St. Joseph of Cupertino lived. He was known as the "flying monk" because, legend has it, in a state of ecstasy he was able to levitate, which earned him a trial before the Holy Office for abuse of popular credulity, from which he was acquitted.
