Melezzole Village

Highlight • Settlement

Village that develops around an ancient medieval castle (XIII century). On the top stands the bell tower of the church of San Biagio located in the central square, reachable through narrow stairways that break the concentric rings of the ancient walls, creating suggestive slits from which you can see the forest landscape below. Located at 610 meters high, it has a single main access through an ancient tower, well preserved, where the effigy of an eagle stands out to testify to the long dominion exercised on the village by nearby Todi. In the village there is a bar, a butcher (km0), a minimarket, an electrical and household items shop, a flower shop. There is a fountain for fresh water supplies right inside the tower.

Historic Center of Avigliano Umbro

Highlight • Historical Site

The village has Roman origins (the historic center has the classic orthogonal lattice) but was later fortified and equipped with walls in the Middle Ages when Avigliano became one of the many garrisons of the Via Amerina which constituted the corridor in the hands of the Roman Byzantines that connected Rome to Ravenna between the two Lombard duchies of Tuscia and Spoleto. It was contested by Todi who destroyed its walls, putting the village in a condition of being constantly plundered by passing armies. Currently a small historic center remains with a cylindrical tower and a modern, squat tower containing a water tank.

Castel dell'Aquila

Highlight • Settlement

Castle built in 1294 by Todi as an outpost to defend the territory. The current village retains only some original elements such as the medieval tower. The eagle is the symbol of the city of Todi. In the 80s of the last century, Castel dell'Aquila hosted one of the first Italian computer factories. It was called "Eagle" and had a good commercial success. Many workers were from the place and the expression of the workers (they were mainly women) who assembled the computers was handed down: "that you pass me the slots? ..". In the village there are bars, mini markets and other shops.

A nice ride in search of dirt roads to travel with the Gravel. It starts from Melezzole and goes in the direction of Morre. Cross the village and proceed in the direction of Camerata. Immediately afterwards, take the first stretch of dirt road to the right towards Torregentile. After a few hairpin bends downhill, near an ancient residence, you continue …
