Web: www.trenitalia.comVisits : Stretched out on a spur of Mount Subasio, the placid Umbrian village of Spello presents itself to the visitor with its pink-colored houses. Among its cobbled alleys, in the frescoed churches, in the shadow of its monuments, Spello preserves the signs of its long history: Roman, Lombard, of popes and lords. There are numerous remains of the Roman era when Spello, or rather Hispellum, was "splendid Julia colony", as a sign on the façade of Portonaccio says.Of these centuries of splendor today we remain the best preserved Roman fortified walls in Italy, 3 magnificent entrance doors to the village, the dense network of narrow streets that from May to July become a flowery stage and reach their peak with the Infiorata. Then there is the Pinturicchio: his passage to Spello has left us many masterpieces. First of all the Baglioni Chapel, then the altarpiece with the Madonna and Child Enthroned in the Church of Sant'Andrea.Notes :
