Bevagna
A village on the plain, intact within its walls, with one of the most harmonious Romanesque squares in Italy and a Roman mosaic of sea monsters in the ancient baths.
The story
In the Middle Ages Bevagna was divided into four quarters, the “gaite”, each with its own trades. Every June since 1989, the Mercato delle Gaite has recreated the workshops of the 13th and 14th centuries with scholarly rigour: you can watch paper, silk, wax candles and glass being made by hand, using methods documented in the archives.
Why go
It is one of the most beautiful and least crowded villages in the Umbrian Valley, ten minutes from Montefalco and Spello.
