Thin and golden egg pasta, the Maccheroncini di Campofilone IGP tells a centuries-old tradition made of manual gestures, simple ingredients, and peasant wisdom. A Marche excellence celebrated every summer in the heart of the village.

Porta da Bora, rebuilt during the Renaissance and later incorporated into the surrounding homes, has preserved its original function as an access point to the town over time. Porta da Sole, built in the early 11th century, represented the main access to the Campofilone castle throughout the Early Middle Ages.
