Since the XIVth  Sant'Ippolito has been identified with the land of stone cutters, thanks to the skilful and talented sandstone workers living there. The local yellow and blue sandstone quarries have favored the actity of stone cutters. More recently the art of stonecutters has been fostered and supported by master Francesco Maria Rossi. In the central Piazza del Popolo stands the Museum of Land-Art of Stonemasons, which documents the activity of stonemasons over the centuries: there is a large collection of tools used to carve stone and informative boards about the work in the quarries. 
In July Sant'Ippolito hosts "Scolpire in piazza" (Carving in the square): during this event many sculptors realize sandstone works, specifically designed for urban regeneration and environmental projects in small municipalities and in nature areas of the Marche region.
The town is an open air museum: along the streets, on the facades of the houses and churches, you can enjoy the stone sculptures created by stonemasons.
