Just a few steps from the village of Frontino stands a treasure chest of quiet and memory: the Monastery of San Girolamo. Built around 1500 at the will of Don Ghisello Vandini, with the blessing of Bishop Luca Melini and the support of the Dukes of Urbino, it rises among centuries-old oaks as an invitation to calm and contemplation.
The complex includes a single-nave church, a convent, and service spaces. In the chapel, the altarpiece painted by Bernardino da Longiano (1560) stands out, depicting the Madonna with an Angel, Child, and Saints Jerome and John the Baptist. The walls preserve refined frescoes dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Lucy, as well as triptychs narrating the Gospel life. The refectory houses a striking fresco of the Last Supper, still alive on its old walls. On the upper floor, the ancient monastic cells recall a past of silence, prayer, and writing.
This was once a place where science and culture converged: the friars who lived here translated and passed down texts of great value for Western culture. Today the monastery, restored by the Municipality, has been transformed into a historic residence, preserving its aura of serenity and spirituality while becoming an ideal destination for those seeking culture, nature, and refined hospitality.
Mu.Mont invites you to discover this place suspended in time, where every wall tells the story of faith, knowledge, and hospitality. A place designed—even today—to find silence, inspiration, and beauty, suspended between sky and earth.
