You cannot imagine all the treasures we will explore in “hidden gem,” Bevagna.
“Off the beaten path,” Bevagna boasts stunning Roman mosaics, a pair of fascinating Romanesque churches, a tiny stunning frescoed theater and the re-creation (in minute detail) of a medieval merchant’s house of the early 14th-century.
And not only: “locals” often enact medieval artisan works for visitors: silk-weaving, the minting of coins, paper-making. Con passione! A local butcher might offer you tastes of prized prosciutto, capocollo, salami, sheep’s milk cheeses – con passione. The town baker turns out sweets of medieval origin, too – con passione.
Bevagna – from butcher to baker to medieval crafts to her monuments – offers “full immersion” into medieval history.
Why not share in la passione?
