Since 2017 there have been two Tibetan bridges over the ravine, one of 95 metres and one of 300 in a single span; the bigger one runs 120 metres above the bottom. They call it the Ponte alla Luna, and you buy a ticket to cross.
In the church of the Immacolata there is an eighteenth-century bust of Sant'Emidio, the saint invoked against earthquakes: in country that shakes, it was a precaution. The town was called simply Sasso until 1863, and it is first named in a document of 1163, when it was a Norman stronghold. There are 831 residents.
