Vallingegno Abbey was built over a temple dedicated to the pagan deity Genius: Vallingegno or the valley of Genius. The Christian community was settled after the martyrdom of St. Verecundus, grew up by Benedictine monks, hosted St. Ubaldo, patron of Gubbio, and several times St. Francis.

Of particular importance is the First Chapter of the Saint's 300 followers, who gather in the vicinity of the abbey. In 1355 the abbey and nearby castle rebelled against Gubbio, which besieged and destroyed them.

The reconstruction initiates the symbiosis between the Religious and secular souls of the place and explains the current activity of ETHICAL TOURISM: to finance the Sustainable Development of Agenda 2030 with a contribution supported entirely by the agritourism, with no increase in costs for Guests.
