At Pieve di Controne there is the Pieve di San Giovanni Battista, called the ‘the one with the double facade’ because, in the 14th century, its facade was reversed and completely turned round due to being badly damaged by a landslide. Even today, you can still see traces of the decorations which once covered the apse’s original facade. Leaving the village behind you, you then plunge into chestnut forests, trees that can frequently be found along this route. So you then come to the charming hamlets of Vetteglia, San Cassiano, Palleggio and Limano, which arrive just in time to refresh and revive your spirits after hours of walking. From Limano, your path takes you uphill and downhill until you reach Vico Pancellorum, thus concluding your first day’s walk.
