The church of the Madonna del Piano: concrete, late 20c. |
Madonna del Piano (loosely, "the Madonna in the plain") is a frazione — in this case a scattered group of houses — of the comune of Montecastello di Vibio perched nearly 250 meters above it and about 4 km W. Because of its location in the plain, it has more in common with Fratta Todina, which is also the nearest town, if not by much: including the railroad station, just 2 km away.
The gentle reader mustn't get the idea I know the town well. I crossed it on foot late one morning; some very slight additional feel for the place may be got from the brief entry in my diary, Mar. 13, 2004.
