October in Trevi, Umbria, Italy

In Trevi there are some interesting cultural events like Ottobre Trevano (October in Trevi) with historical evocations, the Palio dei Terzieri, Medieval life Scenes and the Tour of Olive Mills which anticipates the production of the new Trevi Olive Oil.

Trevi is a little medieval centre, situated between Foligno and Spoleto, few kilometres far from Assisi.
Trevi is very characteristic, for its position on the top of a mountain in a spiral form. The visitor’s eye is caught by the grace of its position and by the architectonical structure, so that Leopardi, a famous Italian writer, wrote about this beautiful place. Among the historical buildings of Trevi we have to note the Palazzo Comunale (City Hall) with the Torre Civica (Civic Tower), the former monastery of S. Francis (dated back to 1545) which today has been transformed in a museum including: the Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery), the Civic Museum, the oil Museum (Trevi produces a very good quality of olive oil), and the art collection.
Among the religious buildings there’s S. Francis Church of 1288, in which is guarded a Giotto style wooden crucifix of the XIV century; Saint Emilano Cathedral and the Franciscan monastery of S. Martino, reachable by the walking of Via Ciuffelli, with beautiful secular trees. Just outside the walls of the city, going downhill in the southern part, you’ll encounter the Renaissence sanctuary of Madonna delle Lacrime. It’s a Latin cross church containing last work of Perugino and the Adorazione dei Magi dated back to 1521.
An important building is the Teatro Clitunno, in the historical centre of the town, dating back to the second half of XIX century, were takes places the Theatre Season.
