ジャーノデッルウンブリア周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

Todi is a splendid Umbrian town, characterized by three concentric rings of walls that testify to the town's size over different eras: Umbrian-Roman, Roman, and medieval. It is best known as the birthplace of Jacopone da Todi, considered the first Italian dialect poet, in the 13th century.

Not a particularly challenging climb, except for a small stretch before the final climb to the top of Martano. The descent towards Spoleto is on a mule track for the first few kilometres. I recommend getting off the asphalt road if you go up on a racing bike.

Great place for lunch. Some of the best wines in umbria

It is the land of the famous Sagrantino wine but not only... The following varieties of wine are produced in Montefalco: Montefalco Bianco, Montefalco Rosso, Montefalco Sagrantino and Montefalco Sagrantino Passito. History tells that in Montefalco the ancient monks vinified the grapes of their own harvest to create a sweet version of the consecration wine and in the 1960s some producers managed to recover this tradition. Then, in 1979 this product obtained the controlled designation of origin and in 1992 the superior label of controlled and guaranteed designation of origin.

Montefalco the terrace of Umbria, practically in the center of the eastern Umbrian Valley, with a panoramic view from Perugia to Spoleto

In the hamlet of La Bruna, which developed at the crossroads of the main communication routes of the area, stands the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Bruna, a Renaissance jewel built on the bank of the Tatarena stream, with a single central nave and crowned by three apses. Above the main altar is painted the image of the Madonna della Bruna, so called due to the complexion of her face, a fresco attributed to Tiberio Diotallevi of Assisi. On the sides of the altar are two sculpted coats of arms, of the Municipality and that of the Medici.

Castle of medieval origin with towers and walls in excellent condition Here in the 11th century a viscount normally resided with administrative powers over the territory which included numerous castles, some of which are still inhabited and others partially in ruins. Together with Colle del Marchese it was part of a territory called "Normandy", a small autonomous province within the territories of the Church. Towards the end of the 12th century the Castle was destroyed due to the wars that saw imperial and papal power pitted against each other, but at the beginning of the 13th century it was entirely rebuilt. In the second half of the 14th century, the Castle was equipped with strong walls, those that still remain almost intact, with external towers, loopholes and bomb holes.

The Guglielmo Oberdan garden is a small green lung located near the Porta Orvietana lift and offers a suggestive view of the western part of Todi and the middle Tiber valley. The gaze extends as far as Perugia.
