Around Gualdo Cattaneo one comes across stones with inscriptions from every era, from Roman times onwards. These are used because brick was missing, to decorate or to mark the memory of an event, such as the first stone of the construction of the bell tower of the Church of Saints Antonio and Antonino which was blessed and marked with the inscription 'A' and placed on the west side of the bell tower.
Other examples are the stones in Via Sant'Agostino that lead to the Church of Sant’Agostino where the cell of Beato Ugolino, Gualdo's patron saint, is preserved and where the beautiful fresco depicting "The Crucifixion" by the Foligno school of Niccolò Liberatore, known as L’Alunnowas also painted in the chapel. In this street you can glimpse, in fact, pointed arches characteristic of the village. Halfway down the street, on the right, there is a wall that protrudes from a house and is what remains of an old fence wall.
The most significant stones are to be found in Piazza Umberto I, on the façade of the Town Hall, in Piazza del Beato Ugolino... they are all to be discovered and observed to relive the past of this village.
