Flanked along its entire length by distinctive brick houses, climbing its steps immerses you in the medieval atmosphere of Corinaldo. The effort required to climb the 109 steps is rewarded by the small wonders that reveal themselves with every step.  <\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-DE91beW2pT\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text\">As you continue, your gaze rises to the top of the staircase, where the imposing structure of the former <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/en\/the-town-and-its-walls\/historic-buildings\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1026\">Augustinian Convent<\/a><\/strong> stands out, right in the heart of Corinaldo\u2019s historic centre. In ancient times, the \u201cpiagge\u201d were the sloping streets and paths that connected the different levels on which the town was organised. In the early 15th century, where the staircase now stands, there was an uphill street paved with cobblestones\u2014almost like a sloping square traversed by people and carts making their way up to the centre.  <\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-pTADkLz8Kr\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text\">The Staircase and the Well create a unique urban space that, as you walk through it, brings together history, architecture, and traditions. As you walk up the Piaggia, you can almost hear the echoes of the sounds that marked daily life in a medieval village. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-l2 ctur-immagine-fw\" id=\"block-qWgHsY5cee\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-row__inner scope-block-qWgHsY5cee\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block nectar-l1\" id=\"block-13VAyKXcME\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-flex-box nectar-block nectar-blocks-flex-box nectar-l1\" id=\"block-lS3k4f0SHT\"><style id=\"nectar-blocks-image-css\">.nectar-blocks-image{transition:all .25s ease}.nectar-blocks-image__inner{position:relative;transition:all .25s ease;width:100%}.nectar-blocks-image .nectar-blocks-image__inner{border-radius:inherit}.nectar-blocks-image img{border-radius:inherit;display:block;max-width:100%;transition:all .25s ease}.nectar-blocks-image img.nectar-aspect-ratio{object-fit:cover}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-image nectar-blocks-image\" id=\"block-MS34hY897W\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"wp-image-1773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LG_202508_la-piaggia_23.webp\" alt=\"La Piaggia, Corinaldo tra i Borghi pi\u00f9 Belli d&apos;Italia, Marche \u2014 estate\" title=\"La Piaggia | Corinaldo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LG_202508_la-piaggia_23.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LG_202508_la-piaggia_23-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LG_202508_la-piaggia_23-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LG_202508_la-piaggia_23-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LG_202508_la-piaggia_23-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-PkVnR9UG2J\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text ctur-caption\">The Piaggia staircase and the Polenta Well<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 id=\"block-WGNxXE8hHl\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text\">The Pozzo della Polenta (Polenta well)<\/h3>\n\n<p id=\"block-G4jDUIvd6x\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text\">The first well, located at the top of the Piaggia, was built by Antonello Accattabriga, the tyrant of Corinaldo, in the second half of the 15th century to supply water to nearby homes. When the staircase was renovated in the early 1900s, the well was filled in. In 1980, a new well was built at its current location to serve as the setting for the \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcorinaldo.it\/en\/events\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3711\">Contesa del Pozzo della Polenta<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d the oldest historical reenactment in the Province of Ancona, which takes place every year during the summer.
