Costa San Severo
Costa san Severo (600 m) nestling on a slope under Monte Primo (1299 m) is an ancient mountain hamlet, 20 minutes from the city of Camerino, on a former pilgrims' way from Assisi to Loreto. It consists of a handful of houses, most of which are occupied only in the holiday season. The permanent inhabitants are three: Mary and Uli and Bice the elderly lady who lives a few houses away.
The asphalt road that leads to the house becomes a rough mountain track higher up.
