Information and guides for tourism and holidays
Todi
There are several theories on the origin of the name: the word Todi or from the etrurian "tudicolare", or even from "tutus" ("a fortified place").
St.Peter in the Valley
In the 5th century, Giovanni and Lazzaro, two Syrian hermits who, in search of a secluded place had scaled the Solenne mountain and descended into the Suppenga valley , were said to have founded the Eremitage, already a pagan nucleus, which later on became the Abbey St. Peter in the Valley.
Marmore Waterfalls
Taking the State Road "Valnerina" from Terni, you'll reach the very famous Marmore Waterfalls after only 7 km.
Foligno
Foligno is one of the very few Umbrian cities built in the plain. It rises up on the banks of Topino river where the river erupts into the valley in an area where extensive drainage of the large swamplands took place, first during Roman times, then during the 15th and 16th centuries, and finally in the 19th century.
St. Clare of Assisi
The church of St. Clare of Assisi was built in Italian gothic style between 1257 and 1265, along the road connecting Porta Nuova to St. Francesco.
Carsulae
Carsulae, an ancient Roman town erected along the course of the Flaminia Road, was abbandoned long-ago because of serious landslides which had rendered it necessary to move the seat of this important consular road.
Assisi
Assisi in Italy stretches out on the slopes of the Monte Subasio, above the plain where the Topino and Chiascio rivers flow.
Obelisk The Spear of Light
The brilliant intuition of the work is anterior of ten years to the final realization, completed in 1995, after a long series of problems and bureaucratic difficulties.
Ocriculum
Ocriculum, which was originally an Umbrian settlement situated on the hill where the modern Otricoli is now to be found, was reconstructed during Roman times in the valley, in closer proximity to the Tiber river.
Orvieto
Orvieto origins go back to the Etruscan civilization: the first Etruscan settlements, going back to the 9th Century B.C., infact, were found inside the tufaceous caves in the bedrock upon which today rises the city.
