Places not to be missed

Among the places not to be overlooked for a cultural stopover is the museum complex of San Francesco di Trevi. In addition to the picture gallery and exhibition spaces, it houses the Museum of Olive Civilization, the first European museum entirely dedicated to the culture of the olive tree and the history of olive oil production. A journey among ancient tools, agricultural traditions and landscapes that tell the deep identity of the Umbrian Valley. In the context of the medieval architecture, the surprising presence of Palazzo Lucarini Contemporary emerges, a space dedicated to contemporary art. Exhibitions, installations and international curatorial projects dialogue with the ancient stones of the palace, creating a fascinating contrast between artistic avant-garde and historical memory. The itinerary in the heart of Umbria also offers a leap into the Middle Ages at the castles of Pissignano and Campello Alto, near the Fonti del Clitunno. Pissignano fascinates with its 12th-century triangular castle, while Campello Alto, a 10th-century fortified village, offers panoramic views among the olive groves.
