Amaseno: medieval village where it seems to take a step back in time

Amaseno - Between the Ausoni mountains and the Lepini mountains, the small village of Amaseno develops, crossed by the river of the same name, also mentioned by Virgil in the Aeneid. The town is closely linked to the breeding of buffaloes, favored by the strong presence of water. The tradition is therefore also linked to the production of milk, mozzarella and other dairy products that have become typical.

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta is one of the main religious buildings, which preserves the blood of San Lorenzo, patron saint of the town, who melts on the occasion of the day dedicated to him on 10 August. It is also one of the oldest buildings in the country, dating back to the Middle Ages. That is the time of the birth of the village, visible testimony in the streets and palaces, and also in the so-called 'mullioned windows', the medieval shops with the counter overlooking the street. Among the significant events is the Agriculture Festival which takes place in summer and is linked to the display of local products of excellence. While on August 10, the day of San Lorenzo, there is the patronal feast, another occasion to recall the traditions.
