The bike path is poor. The asphalt is torn up and bushes are growing in it.

A WONDERFUL SMALL VILLAGE THAT WILL LEAVE YOU OPEN-MOUTHED

Even under a grey sky, the outing filled my eyes with its beautiful varied landscapes (hilltop towns, fortified castles, abbeys, towers, vineyards, sunflower fields, yew trees, etc.) And above all, a cycle path away from vehicles!

The Tower of Matigge is located on the Flaminia state road, a few kilometers north of Trevi and on the border with the municipality of Foligno. The Tower was begun in 1395 and from the beginning it was equipped with a custodian and a bell tower, to be used in case of assault. One of the mysteries of this tower is that apparently there is no entrance door in the base:

It's reopened!

Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, Spoleto Cathedral Cathedral: the symbol of the city of Spoleto With its magnificent façade, Spoleto Cathedral provides a kind of backdrop to the Piazza Duomo, which is home to many other buildings. The cathedral was built in the 12th century on the remains of an earlier religious building named after Santa Maria del Vescovado, which in turn stood on an older church dedicated to the martyr Primiano. The crypt of Santa Primiano, accessed through the rectory, dates back to the 9th century and represents the only original part of the old cathedral, which was rebuilt at the end of the 12th century. Adjacent to the facade of the cathedral, on the left side, is the imposing square-shaped bell tower. The façade also features an elegant portico with five rounded arches supported by Corinthian columns, a marvelous work by the master Ambrogio Barocci dating from 1492. The upper part is divided into two levels separated by a cornice supported by blind arches: the lower part is decorated with five beautiful rose windows, the central one being larger and surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists; the upper part features three rose windows and three pointed-arch niches, of which the central, larger one is decorated with a wonderful mosaic depicting Christ enthroned between the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist. The decorative elements are further emphasized by the use of blocks of local white and pink stone, which highlight the architectural details. Inside, the space is divided into three naves with a central apse, and the plan is a Latin cross with a transept. The building houses numerous works of art by artists from various eras: the bronze bust of Urban VIII was made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1640; the cross with the iconography of the Living Christ (Triumphal) is a work by Alberto Sotio from 1187; and the cycle of the Stories of the Virgin, which adorns the central apse, was painted by Filippo Lippi between 1467 and 1469. Finally, two chapels are particularly admirable: the Chapel of the Santissima Icona, which houses a 12th-century Byzantine panel that, according to tradition, was given to the city of Spoleto by Frederick Barbarossa as a sign of peace; and the Chapel of the Reliquies, which houses one of the only two surviving letters written by Saint Francis himself. It is a small rectangular parchment (13 x 6 cm) made of goatskin, consisting of nineteen lines, addressed to Fra Leone. The other handwritten letter is the so-called Chartula, kept in the Basilica of Assisi and, according to tradition, written by Francis in 1224 after his stigmatization on Mount Verna. The interior of the building, as it appears today, is the result of a decisive intervention in the 17th century that gave it a Baroque style.

Bevagna / Region – Umbria / Province – Perugia (PG) The town, surrounded by a city wall with towers and gates, has an intact medieval structure (12th-13th centuries). In the upper part of the town, numerous Roman remains can still be seen: the ruins of a temple, the theater, and a thermal bath complex, of which a frigidarium with a magnificent black and white floor mosaic depicting marine figures from the 2nd century AD survives. The medieval town structure, with its squares and noble houses, developed over the Romanesque foundations: The magnificent Piazza Silvestri is home to the Palazzo dei Consoli (1270), which houses the Torti Theater, the Romanesque churches of San Silvestro and San Michele Arcangelo, both from the late 12th century, and the church of San Domenico e Giacomo (1291). Worth seeing is the Palazzo Comunale (late 18th century), which houses the historical archives, the library, and the art gallery. The Baroque churches of the Monastery of Santa Margherita and San Filippo are also very interesting. At the highest point in the town stands the Church of San Francesco (late 13th century). Next to the altar, one can see the stone on which St. Francis knelt when he preached to the flock of birds at Pian d'Arca. The 18th-century Palazzo Lepri houses the Museum of Bevagna, with works that tell the story of the town from pre-Roman times to the 18th century: archaeological finds from the ancient city of Mevania, medieval documents, and paintings by Dono Doni, Fantino, and Corrado Giaquinto. In the surrounding area, the Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie (late 16th century), the Sanctuary of Madonna della Valle, and the Monastery of Annunziata (11th century), formerly a defensive castle, rise up against the hillsides.
