MOUNTAIN DEWS<br />
Tavoleto is sited ontop a rocky<br />
spur on the leftside of the<br />
Foglia Mid-Valley. Originated<br />
in the Middle Ages, it has been<br />
a contested territory between<br />
the Malatesta and the Montefeltro<br />
families during centuries.<br />
The Dukes of Urbino<br />
erected there a Rocca, that was<br />
demolished in 1865.<br />
WORTH VISITING<br />
The village lies in the heart of<br />
the Montefeltro, a land characterized<br />
by castles, medieval<br />
borghi, rural parish churches<br />
and defence walls, erected and<br />
demolished during centuries<br />
of disputes. A typical example<br />
is the Castle of Petrangolini of<br />
1865 with its tower, original<br />
furniture and arms, that was<br />
actually re-built over the foundations<br />
of the historic Rocca,<br />
erected in 1462 by Francesco<br />
di Giorgio Martini on Federico<br />
da Montefeltro’s commission.<br />
Part of the defence walls of the<br />
original Rocca are preserved<br />
in the Castle, too.<br />
SOMETHING MORE TO<br />
DISCOVER<br />
The village might be named<br />
after the amount of wood,<br />
gathered in this area and than<br />
transferred to Rome; Right in<br />
Tavoleto, wood logs were<br />
worked out into beams and<br />
boards (Tavola, hence Tavoleto).<br />
Today, economy main activity<br />
is footware and mattress manufacturing<br />
industry.<br />
TAVOLETO<br />
WORTH TASTING<br />
Amongst the typical products<br />
we recommend “tortellini al<br />
pasticcio”, roastbeef, tagliatelle,<br />
lamb, and guinea-hen,<br />
rubbit à la “cacciatora”<br />
(Hunter’s style), stuffed turkey,<br />
wild game, appetizers with natural<br />
local products, “piada<br />
sfogliata” (puff flatbread) with<br />
ham. Top production of Casciotta<br />
di Urbino DPO.<br />
SOMETHING TO DO<br />
It’s a suitable area for walking,<br />
mountain-bike and horse<br />
trekking tours.<br />
WORTH DISCOVERING<br />
The Val Ventena, a charming<br />
valley, sited partly in the municipal<br />
territory of Tavoleto<br />
and partly in Auditore, is also<br />
worth a visit: Enjoy its unspoiled<br />
ecosystem with untouched<br />
pristine flora and fauna.<br />
