Touring Spello, Umbria Medieval Gem – November 21st, 2020
Join me for a virtual tour of Umbrian medieval hilltop gem, Spello, discovering its “hidden secrets.” Share in the spellano enthusiasm in 2018 at first viewing of the stunning restored mosaics of a villa of Roman Hispellum. Discover with me the Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces in the town’s medieval churches. Learn about the heist of a Renaissance Madonna some years ago and her return home. View the mastery of artisan, Pino, who worked with his crew to restore a 15th-c. fortified tower overlooking Spello.
Experience, too, the creativity of the local spellani including Fra’ Paolo, a beloved Franciscan friar. Ah, Spello che bello!
