The beech forest above Oriolo, renowned for its characteristic of being well below the normal altitudes at which the beech finds its ideal environment, is certainly a pleasant place to discover and easy to reach.

The ancient Canale Monterano always gives its charm to visitors. Most people know this place because the famous film "Il Marchese del Grillo" with Alberto Sordi was filmed there; but in reality its walls tell dramatic stories, linked to the escape from the city invaded by the plague..

The church, in a very poor state of conservation, has a façade framed between two twin bell towers which have now almost completely disappeared (only a faint trace remains of part of the one on the left) and has Doric pilasters (false Doric columns in relief) in stucco with a large triangular gable (also called pediment). The roof of the church was octagonal topped by a lantern, while inside it was domed. Opposite the entrance to the church in the center of the square there is still the base of Bernini's octagonal fountain and, after the restoration works of 1995-96, a copy faithful to the original was placed there. Bernini's fountain can today be admired, however, in the square of the Municipality of Canale Monterano. A representation of the church is in a 1781 painting by G. Barbieri in the Altieri palace in Oriolo Romano. https://www.iluoghidelsilenzio.it/convento-di-san-bonaventura-monterano-di-canale-monterano-rm/
