Questo piccolo comune si trova su una collina, offrendo panorami mozzafiato sulla campagna umbra circostante. Conosciuto come la “Ringhiera dell’Umbria” per la sua posizione panoramica, Montefalco è rinomato per la sua storia, cultura e produzione vinicola. Montefalco ha origini antiche, con tracce di insediamenti che risalgono all’epoca romana. Durante il Medioevo, la città divenne un importante centro religioso e culturale.

Uno dei principali punti di interesse è la Chiesa di San Francesco, che oggi ospita il Museo Civico. Qui si possono ammirare affreschi di grande valore artistico, tra cui opere del famoso pittore rinascimentale Benozzo Gozzoli.
Montefalco è celebre per i suoi vini, in particolare il Sagrantino di Montefalco, un vino rosso robusto e tannico ottenuto dall’omonimo vitigno autoctono. Il Sagrantino di Montefalco è apprezzato a livello internazionale e rappresenta una delle eccellenze vinicole italiane. Oltre al Sagrantino, Montefalco produce anche ottimi vini bianchi, come il Trebbiano Spoletino. La gastronomia locale è altrettanto rinomata, con piatti tradizionali che includono salumi, formaggi, tartufi e olio d’oliva di alta qualità. I ristoranti e le trattorie di Montefalco offrono un’esperienza culinaria autentica, dove è possibile degustare le specialità umbre abbinate ai vini locali.
Montefalco ospita numerosi eventi e manifestazioni durante l’anno, che attirano visitatori da ogni parte del mondo. Uno degli eventi più importanti è la “Settimana Enologica”, che si tiene a settembre e celebra la vendemmia con degustazioni di vini, visite alle cantine e spettacoli folcloristici. La “Fuga del Bove” è un’altra tradizione secolare, una sorta di palio che si svolge in agosto e vede la partecipazione dei quattro quartieri della città in una serie di competizioni storiche e sportive.
La Piazza del Comune, il cuore pulsante della città, è un luogo incantevole dove passeggiare e ammirare gli edifici storici, mentre le viuzze strette e i vicoli pittoreschi invitano a esplorare ogni angolo del borgo. Montefalco è una destinazione che incanta per la sua autenticità, la ricchezza del suo patrimonio e la calda accoglienza dei suoi abitanti.

Montefalco is an Italian municipality in the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is the reference point of the wine region where Sagrantino di Montefalco and Montefalco Rosso are produced. The toponym Montefalco is due, according to tradition, to Frederick II of Swabia.

La bella e famosa via Dante a Milano. Quando si visita Milano quasi sempre si va prima a vedere il Duomo e poi si cammina per andare al Castello Sforzesco. Per fare questo percorso si passa nella bella e rettilinea strada dedicata a Dante Alighieri.

Ecco dove si trova la strada:
La via Dante venne aperta a partire dal 1888 come collegamento viario con il Castello Sforzesco, contestualmente ai massicci interventi di sventramento effettuati in piazza Duomo e al Cordusio che ridisegnarono il centro della città. La nuova via venne realizzata secondo le indicazioni del Piano Beruto del 1884, che a sua volta si era richiamato a precedenti progetti dell’età napoleonica. Nelle intenzioni iniziali, con le diverse trasformazioni edilizie di quegli anni, l’arteria in costruzione avrebbe dovuto costituire l’ideale prolungamento in centro dell’asse del Sempione, realizzato agli inizi dell’Ottocento, che sarebbe passato sopra il Castello, la cui demolizione venne scongiurata da Luca Beltrami. Successivamente agli imponenti restauri del Castello operati dal Beltrami, a partire dal 1905 la via venne chiusa prospetticamente dalla rinata Torre del Filarete, eretta in memoria del re Umberto I e la cui prima costruzione era crollata a seguito di un’esplosione diversi secoli prima.

Spello (Hispellum in Latin) is an Italian municipality in the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag tourist-environmental quality brand, awarded by the Italian Touring Club. Spello was founded by the Umbrians and then named Hispellum in Roman times; it was then registered with the Lemonia tribe. Later declared "Colonia Giulia" by Caesar and "Splendidissima Colonia Julia" by Augustus, because it supported him in the war of Perugia; after the victory of Augustus, he himself ceded to Hispellum a good part of the territories governed by Perusia and the dominion of the city of Spello extended to the sources of the Clitunno, which were previously under the possession of Mevania. Later it was called "Flavia Costante" by Constantine. Ancient Spello was considered one of the most important cities in Roman Umbria. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

The columns of the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum The Temple of Saturn (Latin: Templum Saturni) was an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture and wealth. It was located at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, in the western part of the Roman Forum. Its construction dates back to the 5th century BC, but the building we see today dates mainly from the period of the Roman Republic, with some modifications made over the following centuries. The temple was known for its rich decoration and the famous statue of Saturn inside. The statue of Saturn was traditionally tied and during the Saturnalia festival, which took place in December, the rope was symbolically loosened to represent the release of restrictions. The current structure of the temple is very partial, with only some remains of the columns and foundations. However, some original columns are still standing, giving an idea of the size and elegance of the building. The ancient part of the Temple of Saturn has been integrated with some later reconstructions, and the exact appearance of the temple has been the subject of debate among archaeologists. Il Foro Romano, in cui si trova il Tempio di Saturno, è una delle zone archeologiche più importanti e visitate di Roma, offrendo ai visitatori una visione affascinante della vita nella Roma antica attraverso i suoi templi, basiliche, e strutture pubbliche.

The view of the medieval aqueduct of Perugia. The aqueduct of Perugia (also called the Medieval Aqueduct of the Fontana Maggiore) represents one of the most significant works of medieval engineering in Italy. Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, it played a crucial role in the water supply of the city, contributing to urban development and the well-being of its inhabitants. Today, the aqueduct is a historical monument of great tourist and cultural interest.
The construction of the Perugia aqueduct began in 1254 and was completed in 1280. The work was commissioned by the Municipality of Perugia to respond to the growing need for drinking water, essential for an expanding city. The aqueduct exploited the springs of Monte Pacciano, located about 5 km west of the city, and transported the water to the city center through a system of canals, bridges and pipes. The route of the aqueduct was partly underground and partly elevated, with a section that crossed the old city on stone arches. This visible part, which winds through the historic center, is today a charming pedestrian walk that allows you to admire panoramic views of the city and the surrounding landscape.
The Perugia aqueduct was an advanced engineering feat for its time. Built mostly of local stone, it used a gravity system to carry water from its springs to the city. The slope was precisely calculated to ensure a constant and regular flow, avoiding stagnation and leaks. The arches, carefully constructed to withstand the stresses of time, are one of the most characteristic elements of the route. The most famous stretch is the one that passes through the village of Porta Sole, where the aqueduct runs on a row of arches that offer a breathtaking view. The aqueduct not only guaranteed the water supply, but also had an important social and symbolic function. It represented the power and efficiency of the Municipality of Perugia, a political entity that asserted itself thanks to its ability to manage vital resources such as water. During the Renaissance and up to the modern age, the aqueduct remained in use, undergoing various maintenance and renovation interventions. Even today, some of its parts are integrated into the modern water system of the city.
Today, the Perugia aqueduct is a popular tourist route. The pedestrian path that follows the ancient route of the aqueduct is known as “Via dell’Acquedotto” and offers a peaceful and scenic walk through the historic center and surrounding green areas. Along the way, you can observe several points of interest, including ancient fountains, remains of cisterns and segments of the original conduits. In addition, the walk offers a unique perspective on the urban structure of Perugia, with its narrow streets, stairways and medieval houses.
The aqueduct is an extraordinary testimony to medieval engineering and the value that water management had for the cities of the time. Today, in addition to being an important tourist attraction, it represents a historical and cultural heritage of inestimable value, a symbol of the human ability to adapt the environment to their needs without compromising the beauty and integrity of the landscape. Through its conservation and enhancement, the aqueduct continues to tell the story of Perugia, a city that has been able to grow and prosper thanks also to the wisdom and foresight of its ancient inhabitants.
