It is a small village on top of a hill from which one can see –in very clear days- until Rome and the seaside. The narrow lanes and small squares of the village are fascinating and rich in old buildings and palaces, once mainly monasteries. One building is still a monastery in which live several nuns and it host the Museum of Silence , while another old  monastery houses today the Municipality. In Fara Sabina there is also an Archaeological Museum, rich in preroman founding.
Passo Corese, today economic and commercial centre of Fara Sabina Municipality is not far away and also nearby there is the Farfa Abbey, which was in the past an extremely important religious, cultural and economic centre. Founded in the VI cent. the Farfa Abbey was visited by Charlemagne  in the occasion of his trip to Rome in order to receive the crown of Emperor from the hands of the Pope. Today the Abbey is frequently visited by scholars , thanks to its important library, and tourists.

Poggio Moiano is quite an active village situated in a hilly surrouning of olive groves that produce one of the Sabina’s best oils. Nearby, on the Salaria – the old Roman salt road – Osteria Nuova is the commercial center and economically developing reference point of the neighboring villages of the area. The villages themselves, historically constructed in order to defend themselves, are situated on hilltops. The modern village is divided into a rather anonymous, yet continuously developing new part on the one hand and the historic center on the other. The latter is marked through its particular architecture, houses built like steps one on top of another on the steep hill and narrow windy lanes leading through them. Recently the old village has been vitalised by wall paintings realised by various artists. Not far from the centre of the village lies the San Martino chapel that with its paintings of the XVI century is surely worth a visit. It is impossible to talk about Poggio Moiano without mentioning the Infiorata, the villages most important festival which attracts thousands of visitors every year during the last week-end of July. The event is routed in an ancient religious tradition of throwing flowers during the Corpus Domini procession. This has transformed with the years into an artistic event of laying paintings made of flower petals on the ground. Today the festival has taken the form of a national competition for which groups of flower painters come from all of Italy to participate. Outside the village a travertine quarry is still active and has stimulated the realisation of a sculpture symposium. With its various art works scattered around the village, Poggio Moinao is becoming an open-air museum and will thus become part of the road of art which is coming into existence in the Sabina.
