TREVI
Located on a promontory above the Valle
Umbra, Trevi
has a strikingly picturesque appearance for
those who approach the city from the valley.
Admired by
poets, painters or simple travelers during the centuries,
Trevi still fascinates the modern visitors who wander
peacefully in the medieval piazzas and streets enjoying the
quiet atmosphere of ancient times.
The city is enriched by important Romanesque
and Gothic churches such as the Cathedral of St. Emiliano,
the city patron,
and the church of St. Francis, that currently
houses the city museum with major works of Renaissance
painters such as the Coronation of the Virgin by Lo
Spagna.
Thanks to
the good quality of olive oil locally produced, Trevi is
also known as the “capital of olive oil”.
