The Montecassiano variant of the Via Lauretana begins in the hamlet of Sant'Egidio, once an important hub along the SS-77, still known today for hosting the traditional Fiera di Sant'Egidio, which takes place every year on 31 August and 1 September with stalls, handicrafts and typical food and wine, such as the "Sagra della papera". From here, the route continues towards Sambucheto, another hamlet in the municipality, which was established in the 20th century. In 1932, the parish church of Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù was built here. It is still active and a religious reference point for the community. After Sambucheto, the route rejoins the main path of the Via Lauretana. The route showcases the Marche hills and offers a pilgrimage experience rich in nature, spirituality, history and local tradition.
