The village of Montecchio has medieval origins. Built around the twelfth century. on Roman pre-existences, by the Chiaravalle di Todi family, it served as a fortified castle with two circles of walls, controlling the underlying Tiber valley. It is one of the best preserved medieval villages in the area and is today a lively town with various activities. It was ruled by several noble families, after the Chiaravalle, the Alviano, the Baschi and the Colonna, and then passed under the Acts.

ocated on a hill overlooking the Tiber valley, Montecchio preserves the charm of the Middle Ages intact with its alleys, squares, the light tones of the stone and the mighty walls with defense towers. With a vaguely elliptical shape, the village is one of the best preserved in the valley. Soft hills of olive trees draw its territory. Dense woods make the landscape vivid and lush in the summer, while autumn paints the Mediterranean scrub in orange and red.
