What see
- Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. In the sixteenth century, in the hamlet, the church dedicated to San Giacomo already existed, which became too small to contain the entire population during functions. The inhabitants thus felt the need to build a new, larger religious building. The 25 Petrucci families, residing in the town, wrote a petition to the canons of San Giovanni in Laterano to obtain consent to build a new church on the other bank of the river, verbatim: It was inconvenient for the people of Rione Ponte to participate in all religious functions, especially in winter when the abundance of water made it more difficult than ever for the elderly, children and pregnant women in the river. In the year 1580 the order was granted to build a church dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie which was completed in 1585. The building, of modest size, has a simple and unadorned façade. The portal is from the 16th century with some decorative elements from the 15th century. The pointed bell tower, the portal and the altar, dedicated to the Madonna delle Grazie, are made of ashlars of sandstone, typical of the place. The church develops in a single nave covered by a gable roof. On the sides of the entrance two rectangular windows give light to the environment. Its interior was decorated with mural paintings that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, but were damaged by a flood of the Tronto river in the 18th century, when the church underwent the first restorations for this need. In 1832, a niche was dug on the left wall to house a noble tomb. Another niche was opened for the wooden altar dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows and the Dead Christ. Another important restoration took place in 1932, when the seven frescoes covered after the flood of the river were found. Worthy of interest is the one, (central of the right wall), depicting Saint Anthony the Abbot, blessing, recognizable by the tau on the yellow pilgrim, a symbol that during the Middle Ages identified the holy hermit, from the bell on the crosier and from the snout of the pig that can be seen below. The background of the painting depicts a rural landscape with flocks, sheep and shepherds, flights of birds and a church at the top right. On the sides two candlesticks and at the bottom under the frame the inscription: TEMPORE REVENNI PIETRAGNILI PETRUTTII. Next to Saint Anthony the Abbot, there is the fresco of Saint John the Baptist with the inscription: "THIS OP. A. F. FARE JOVAN VINCENZO DE IOVANO P. VOTE 1595". Other frescoes depict the Madonna with Child and three saints: St. Augustine, St. Peter and St. Paul.
- The Milestone of Trisungo. In the stretch of the Tronto river that crosses the hamlet, a Roman relic was found in 1831 consisting of a travertine column rock dated 16 BC, in the immediate vicinity of the location indicated as Ad Centesimum in the card of Itinerarium Antonini, where it is now leaning against the wall of Casa Lauri. The milestone of the Roman Via Salaria documents a Senato Consulto, dated 22 BC, with which the emperor Augustus arranged a re-adaptation of the Salaria along the Tronto Valley. Defined in the list of notable monuments of the Ascoli area by Gabrielli as: "... Roman column from the time of Augustus, with inscription". The cippus was usually made up of a large natural stone in its simplest expressions, this, however, is a column-shaped artifact, 70 cm high, and with a slightly smaller section. It had the purpose of expressing the progressive distance in kilometers from the point of origin of the road, in this case of the Salaria whose origin was Rome. On the milestone, in addition to the distance, the name of the emperor or magistrate who had restored or commissioned the construction of the road on which the stone was placed was also carved. The inscription can support the hypothesis of the coincidence of the place Ad Centesimum was just that.
