Mill of the Bridge and Museum of Bread - Frontino (PU) - Montefeltro - Marche

During our visit to Frontino, when hunger starts to make itself felt, here we are looking for a restaurant where you can taste, perhaps, some local delicacies. And what better place than Mulino DiVino, a restaurant nestled in a historical location which allows us to admire breathtaking landscapes and visit the Bread Museum.


Right at the foot of Frontino, this magnificent fortified mill is still working.

Its construction probably dated back to the early 13th century and was built to provide Frontino and the surrounding communities with an instrument capable of generating bread and for defensive purposes. The tower was used to guard the bridge and for any escape routes during the sieges to which the town was subject; an underground connection was built between the structure of the mill and the village.

The Mulino del Ponte complex has been converted into a Bread Museum. A permanent exhibition of tools and equipment traditionally used to reduce grains into flour has been set up here.


In one of the structures, we can observe ancient stone millstones, still active but operated by electricity. However, there is the milling apparatus in one of the more spacious rooms.

The latter is put into operation only for educational purposes and uses the power of the water coming from the overlying bottaccio.


Along the way, we can read 21 signs of milling and baking.


An experience that enriches the soul of visitors.
