The village of Trevi seen from the meadows that surround it.
Nestled in the heart of Umbria, the village of Trevi stands majestically on a hill, surrounded by flowery meadows and olive groves that enhance its beauty. This small town, located between Foligno and Spoleto, is a true medieval jewel that offers breathtaking views and an atmosphere of times gone by.
Observing Trevi from the surrounding meadows, you can appreciate its spiral structure, with stone houses that climb the hill in concentric circles. This particular urban layout not only gives the village a unique charm, but also allows you to enjoy spectacular views of the Umbrian Valley. The meadows surrounding Trevi are dotted with centuries-old olive trees, which produce an olive oil of the highest quality, so much so that the village has been awarded the title of City of Oil.
Trevi boasts an ancient history, with origins dating back to Roman times. The city walls, built in the 1st century BC, bear witness to the glorious past of the village, while the medieval gates, such as Porta del Bruscito and Porta San Fabiano, invite visitors to discover the historic center. Walking through the narrow, paved streets, you can admire ancient churches, noble palaces and precious frescoes that tell centuries of history and culture.
Visiting Trevi means immersing yourself in a unique sensory experience. The scents of the Umbrian countryside, the flavor of extra virgin olive oil and the view of green meadows that stretch as far as the eye can see create a perfect combination of nature and culture. The village also offers numerous opportunities for excursions and walks, allowing visitors to explore the surroundings and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Umbrian landscape.
Trevi is also a place rich in traditions and cultural events. Throughout the year, the village hosts numerous events celebrating local culture, such as the Festa dell’Olio Nuovo, which attracts visitors from all over Italy to taste the freshly produced oil and participate in food and wine and folkloristic events.

Here is where the village is located:
In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it had its best period, characterized by extraordinary trade that favored its economic prosperity (it was called "the dry port"), still testified today by the numerous buildings in the historic center, worthy of appearing in much larger cities, and the economic growth was accompanied by lively cultural and social activity. Already in 1469, to favor the circulation of money a Jewish banker was called, one of the few professions to which those men were authorized, and despite this he was persecuted and later one of the very first Monti di Pietà was erected, followed later by the Monte Frumentario and various other charitable and welfare institutions.
