グアルド・カッタネオのおすすめライド

The Temple of Santa Maria della Consolazione is located just outside the thirteenth-century walls of the town, in the southwestern part of Todi, and is one of the finest examples of Renaissance art in Umbria.

Spello's historic center is an elegant and well-preserved medieval village. It's definitely worth a visit.

Acquasparta is a charming town on the road that connects Terni and Sangemini to Todi. Famous in the Middle Ages for its cultural vivacity, it has some important monuments among which Palazzo Cesi stands out

Wonderful area for road bike tours, visiting villages off the beaten track, but be careful of the very damaged road surface. I add, there is an exclusive route on a cycle path from Spoleto to Assisi.

Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli The small chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli alla Porziuncola, still completely preserved inside the basilica, was, according to tradition, built by four soldiers returning from the Holy War in the wooded plain below Assisi, known as the Cerretto della Porziuncola. They brought a piece of the Madonna's tombstone with them. There, on certain autumn days, the strong wind that blew every cloud from the sky and through the leaves seemed similar to the song of angels. The chapel was administered by the Benedictine monks of the monastery of Santa Benedetto al Subasio since the 10th century. This place would probably have been completely forgotten if the paths of Francis and Clare had not led there. Thanks to them, we find the Porziuncola intact today, just as it was a good 1,000 years ago. But instead of the noisy thicket, there is now a large basilica, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, which envelops and protects the chapel like a caring mother. This view from within the building makes the chapel seem even smaller, almost impossibly small. The church was given to the poor saint by the aforementioned Benedictine monks to establish the headquarters of the newly founded Franciscan order. When Francis first came here, the church was in disrepair, and according to his saintly legend, he dedicated the third year after his conversion exclusively to the renovation of the small chapel. It was here, while reading the Gospel, that he realized that his mission was not to restore dilapidated religious buildings, but to rebuild and preach the entire Kingdom of God by living in poverty, penance, and simplicity. From here, Francis and his confreres set out to spread his message throughout Italy, and here they returned again and again. One night in 1211, a desperate and frightened Chiara d'Offreduccio, who had fled her home and her aristocratic family, knocked on the doors of Porciuncola.

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

Road that goes up from Bevagna towards Bastardo, challenging but not impossible, in good conditions, views of the green Umbria to see!

Bevagna is worth a visit. Easily reachable from Perugia and Foligno, it is a beautiful village full of unforgettable views and historical testimonies.
